After a super restful weekend I've been a busy bunny this morning finishing off a custom order for a friends daughter. This lucky little girl will be receiving what is now Officially 'The Cutest Bag I have EVER made' !!! Taaa Daaaaa....
 |
| Wellie-tastic fabric! |
I had lots of fun picking the fabrics for this project and it was my first time using complicated equipment like dog clips , double sliders & D-hooks. I'm simply D-lighted with how it turned out !!!
 |
| The dog clips, D-rings & slider give it a very professional finish. |
 |
| How the straps attach at the back. |
 |
| Sling bag - there are 2 handy pockets inside too. |
This is the third book I've made from this book and by far the easiest (once I got over my fear of D-rings!).
I followed the pattern pretty much to the letter except for the fact that I added a velcro closure rather than a super expensive clasp.
Thanks for visiting & come back soon !
That is so adorable! I love the rain boot fabric!
