we all live in a yellow submarine

well... FINALLY the bags are done...

insert sigh of relief. although, the strap on my bag is crooked.

oh well. and that was even after taking it out and redoing it once.

annoying part of bag 1 - view a's rounded corners...
NOT fun to sew at all. but hey, it doesn't look bad... in my opinion.

my goal was to have both sides of the bag to look the same (heads on the right, "the beatles" on the left...) yeah. my mistake when cutting out the pieces. but it looks fab anyways :P

inside pocket has the beatles heads print inside, and the strap (attatched with D rings) had "the beatles" all over print. nice and roomy. also has magnetic snap.
i've concidered making another one of these bags,

but i'll have to figure out when i'll have patience to do another one. haa haa

those corners kill me!

i'm determined to figure out a way to maybe do an alteration on the bag.

perhaps squared corners... lol. idk.

now, on to my bag :)
each strip is a different buzz lighyear print...

well, more or less

6 different fabrics, 2 doubled up.

the outside two are from the same fabric - dark blue background

looks like individuals of buzz and zurg (left over from my window seat cushion fabric)

that took some creative cutting for sure :P

i wanted to try and get as much buzz in the triangle i could.

some fit better than others... lol and have the same "pose"

other than that, some creative arrangement of the strips

and whaa laa, amazing laptop sized carrying bag :)

simple black lining, pocket is one of the coordinating buzz prints.

now if only i had somewhere to take my laptop to and show off my bag. haa haa.

i may have to make another one of these to list on our etsy site. :P

i bought some other fabric to do some different variations on bags using buzz lightyear fabrics, as well as need to make a quilt of all my different lightyear prints. haa haa

so you can see the itty bit-ness of my laptop in comparison to this bag :P

on other notes

got my cricut cartridge alphalicious the other day,

as well as won lyrical letters font on ebay today.

lovely day off from work .

do i really have to go tomorrow?

heh.

really, i am making progress...

photograph: items i made for the disney swap round 9 on craftster. my partner recived so i can now show off all the items. 5 tshirts for her kids, 2 rag quilts for her younger girls, and a bag for her. not photographed is the california adventure pin as well as the magnet i purchased for her while in the parks on my vacation - she lives in florida :)

i swear, i really am working on bags... time has just gotten away from me

i probably could have gotten more done last night, but decided to have an intense message conversation with a certain friend of mine. won't mention names because this blog isn't about that sort of thing. its about crafty-ness. yeah, so anyways. that, plus moulin rouge on didn't help much.

today i got the outsides of both bags pieced together before i left the house this afternoon to go to beverlys - and once i got to the register i found that i had left my debit card at home, along with my license... good thing i have the bank of america card on me... needless to say i now owe my dad 17 dollars for my scrapbook paper purchasing. *sigh* heh. did the top stitching on the beatles bag, after drawing multiple chalk lines of where i needed to stitch

came home later tonight after the dance recital rehersal my mom convinced me to go with her to, and got the top stitching on my bag done - within inches of running out of invisible thread (my mom used some on a costume)

so as of this moment, both bags have the outsides done. need to do the pocket/zipper part tomorrow so i can assemble the linings, as well as do the strap and snap. *sigh* so much to do, so little time. tomorrow i work at 3, thursday i have sac state orientation.

oh life... can't it slow down for once?

today was not long enough.

oh, and i faxed in mine & lisa's sellers permit applications.

hopefully it was the correct place to fax it to.
