I made this bag and did the little bit of embroidery for the patch several weeks ago. But I didn't get to actually sewing the patch onto the bag until last night while Jim and I watched 'Britians Got Talent' online. We've decided that watching TV (all be it via internet) is a moving tradition. We so rarely watch anything, but every time we've moved the past couple years we've gotten into a show. When 10 o'clock comes around and I'm beat and feel like if I have to wipe out another cupboard or pack another box I'll collapse, we snuggle up on the couch and watch something.
I keep reminding myself that a week from right now we'll be in Geneva and that makes it all seem worthwhile.
The bag is made of a canvas fabric with cotton lining. The pattern if from the book "Weekend Sewing". The only way I differed from the pattern was that I added the pocket for our water bottles, as well as, the one the pattern called for (that we plan to use for camera, Band-Aids and other park necessities).

As always, amazing! At least to me who cannot sew anything.
ReplyDeleteAt this point you must be exhausted with moving. Take care of yourself!!!!!
