This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Bag-Making Basics: Reversible Tote & Zipper Pouch »

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Funky, Cute


Materials

cotton

What was your inspiration?

some "geek" fabric for a "geek" friend. The front is square-root vegetables, the reverse is scientific equations(think Big Bang Theory). Used 5-6 fabrics in total- had to piece the straps to make them long enough.

What are you most proud of?

I managed to use my friend's 2 favorite fabric colours, orange and green. Plus using the "geek" fabric!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

make sure the fabric doesn't wrinkle! This fabric does, so it looks a bit messy.
A velcro or button closure might be a nice addition too.
