Recently i have had a change of circumstances in my requirements for a daily use bag. My little man has finally taken the plunge in the potty training arena. He now will "go" on any toilet or patch of ground you point him towards, so i have been freed from carrying around a ton of nappies and associated gubbins every day. I do of course have to go everywhere with spare pants, socks and trousers, but somehow this seems less of a pain. All the bags i possess are still too small, or have stupidly short handles, so admiring a friends spotty red messenger bag i thought...yes i shall make, one so i can be "hands free" as she puts it, and still carry all the stuff needed. So i found a lovely retro pinny on ebay, matched it to some cheery corduroy and hey presto a bag.....however, i didn't bank on a friend spying it and assuming it was for sale. So it now has a new owner and i have made another one, with some equally lovely barkcloth i had in my stash- dilemma solved!
Lovely ! May need to shorten the strap though - can you believe it once filled its down to my knees but I am only short ! X
ReplyDeleteThey're lovely, very smart. I like the extra padding bit on the strap, that's a good idea.
ReplyDeleteEmmie, have a vision of you with a bag bashing around your knees! Are you wearing it just on your shoulder, or diagonally across your body? Would that make it sit higher?
