a bag... finally

Whenever I find a chance to get to the studio all I've had time to work on are pieces for other people.  A few hours ago I arrived in my little workspace and did NOT feel like continuing that.  Instead I took the cover off my sewing machine.  I haven't sewn in something like 2 or 3 months.  All the sewing skills I had started to collect are now far less than rusty.  But here's a bag I just finished up.  I decommissioned one of those old orange live vests and incorporated the more interesting sections of material into the bag.  Construction wise it's fairly crappy for my standards... but I'm happy to have made something that I have complete aesthetic control over again.
