Doctor Who Bag
Check out this amazing bag at Quirkie Crafts. I love all the Doctor Who elements that have been put into into it to create a cool patchwork look.
Keep a look out for her etsy shop opening soon!
Boba Fett Bag – Flickr Thursday
I saw this Boba Fett bag in the Flickr pool and I knew at once it had to be the featured project this week. Boba Fett is the crowd favourite over here at my house.
This wicked bag is hand-painted by the talented catpenfold. It was for sale but it sold and that is sad beyond words.
MessengARRRRRR Bag!
Someone’s going to take away my post-titling privileges, I can tell. ;)
Seriously, though, how could you not be psyched about this awesome pirate bag, put together by Three Geeks and a Needle? It’s a look you could rock at any pirate-, steampunk-, or Victorian-themed event! (Am I wrong? I think those skulls & crossbones, whales, and sea monsters are quite frilly.) I have to admit, I covet these ladies’ bags. Look at the inside, all that attention to detail!
And there is the suggestion on their site that they have made TARDIS bags in the past. And Tron. And pretty skulls. Seems like they found a great source of geeky fabrics! Maybe if we’re very kind, they’ll share the info? :)
Library Book Bag.
My little Kindergartner was super excited to get her library card the other day.
She was concerned she would loose her new library card, and she wanted to make sure she had somewhere safe to keep her borrowed books. (A real concern with 3 little siblings, and a house full of books) So I made her a special library book bag.
I made it out of a pair of old jeans. Actually 3/4 of a pair of old jeans, I used 1/2 of a leg for a different project. It’s a simple messenger bag with a few special touches. The front has a great decoration I embroidered on to a piece of felt, using a pattern from Urban Threads. I just zigzagged around the edge to keep it in place.
On the inside, there is a pocket for the library card. I cut a pocket off of the butt of the pants, and sewed it into place. We were nervouse the card might fall out and get lost, so we put as little hole punch in the card, and tied it on with a ribbon.
It has lots of room for all her special library books, and she loves it very much. She has already taken it to school for show and tell.
Albert Einstein Bag – Flickr Thursday
This week I present to you this totally awesome messenger bag from Artsi Bitsi. What I think is extra cool about the design is that Albert’s face is on top of text. It gives it that extra bit of geeky flair. Artsi Bitsi’s photostream is full of bags like this!
