Have Bag, Will Travel!

Have Bag, Will Travel!
Well it is that time again, time for our annual trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina.  Atlantic Beach here we come!  This year I will have my one of a kind bag to take with me!  Super roomy and just my style!
I started this travel bag in January, actually it was part of a Sew A Long and I was suppose to have it finished by Valentine's Day, but then I started sewing for Harper ( my grand-daughter that was born on the 11th of this month) and put the bag on the back burner for a while.  I am happy to say that it is finished now, just in time for the beach!

made with double sided pre-quilted fabric

I am happy with the final product, even if I am four months late getting it finished.  It is very roomy with two pockets inside, 2 zippered pockets on the front and one large pocket with Velcro closure on the back. I love the colors, and am really proud to be able to carry it when we go to the beach. It was a snap to sew and really did not take very long once I was able to put my mind on it and off sewing for baby!

I have to admit that something happened while I was making it that has never happened to me in over 40 years of sewing. I sewed my own finger! OUCH

It is still pretty sore, but I think I will live. I was sewing and my husband walked into my sewing room and like a dummy I tried to continue sewing while I turned around to talk to him, sure won't ever do that again!
Even with the hurt finger I love my bag and I am so happy to have it finished!
See you soon~!
Happy Sewing
