Sewing Messenger Bags and Purses

Hello to anyone cruising the web and is happening to view my following art creations.

Rag-doll Messenger Bag

Above are images of a messenger bag my friend asked me to sew for him. We talked about the concept of what he wanted, I drew up a pattern, pulled out the sewing machine, and BAM a rag-doll bag a.k.a. Baby Boomer was born!!! After sewing the different colored materials together with my handy dandy sewing machine, I hand sewed the thick black stitching and the rag-doll face with some black yarn I had laying around. As a button-junkie I added a lot of buttons, and may I add that the eye on the doll's head opens!?!



Patchwork Bear Purse

Often people wonder what they should do with their small scraps of material left over from previous sewing projects. With a sack full of scraps left over from the rag-doll messenger bag I decided on making myself a patchwork bear purse. I took my bear pattern I made previously and sketched out a small basic bag pattern to create my patchwork bear purse I named Tama-chan. After creating a Tama-chan I decided I had to make an Usachan, which is a character in Ouran Highschool Host club.
