Mystery project completed :)
Here we go - the mystery project I posted about yesterday, completed :) It's a kids messenger bag - I've never made one before! The tutorial is here - it was very easy to follow :)
Here's a view of the inside - the outside of the flap was supposed to be the blue lining fabric, but I got things reversed a bit - will correct it on the next one :)
It's a smallish bag as it's for kids, but it can hold 5 DVD's perfectly :)
Here's what it looks like from the side. I made a couple of changes to her tutorial: instead of using interfacing on the outer layer I quilted the fabric with batting. If I had been using denim as she did, it might have had enough body to stand on it's own. But the quilting weight fabric needed a bit of help to give it enough body :) I also added a velcro closure to the front so the flap wouldn't flap open (pun intended) :D
Here are a few more recent finishes:
These fabrics were from scrap bags I bought from a quilt store in Pennsylvania last year.
Here's what I used for the back - this luscious print was picked out and given to me by my sister for Christmas last year :)
Here's a Bah Humbug pouch - an early finish of a Christmas gift ...
and here are a couple of "use up some bits and pieces" zipper bags - these will go to Blue Hills.

With all the DVD players in cars now this is a great idea! It could hang over the headrest by the handle. The velcro is a must, too. These will be popular.

So cute! Nice job, missy. I think this is a possible present for my nephews, especially the one who loves to do origami in the car. I am not kidding...
