The Pacific Rim messenger bag with the logo for the Jaeger 'Gipsy Danger' (piloted by our heroes), made for a craft exchange.
I made it in 'stealth mode' so the recipient could hide the logo if she wanted:
And added an inside pocket since the front outer pockets were co-opted by the logo.
A little extra sewing will be required, however, since I managed to get the side pocket ALL WRONG.
First, I sewed it upside-down. So the finished edge I'd sewed? That's in the seam. The raw edge is what's showing. *facepalm*
And then the little 'tag' that I made to help pull out a phone that had stuck too deep in there wouldn't work with my sister's Nokia. (It is an old phone, mind you - not a smartphone, so not very wide...)
But it is done. And hopefully the recipient likes it and can use it!
I have another yard or so of this Japanese chrysanthemum fabric in a navy blue and several yards of Echino linens that are perfect for this kind of bag. Although I really should switch it up - try a few other bag styles, perhaps?
Great bag, Sel - I'm sure the recipient will love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd good call on the stealthy logo. I love that movie, other people love that movie, but sometimes, you don't want to proclaim your movie tastes and nerd leanings at the office or the dentist's. :-) Yay, Gipsy Danger!
