Garbage bag

The patent leather bag is finally finished! I'm very happy that it looks just like I imagined because I thought that it would be much harder to actually make it. I already gave the bag a test run during the weekend when we celebrated my sister's baby's christening and her own wedding. The size of the bag is wonderful; all my make-up and hair products, shoes, straighteners, clutch, cardigan and lots of other things fit in it easily.


80's style. The lining is made of old pieces of fabric that I won't use anymore.


The fabric was very easy to sew. I didn't use any patterns I just measured a lot and made and went through things in my head before I sew.


I thought that I'd put plastic tube in the handles but we didn't found any tube from our nearest grocery. When we got in home I remembered our broken cord which had started to give small electric shocks to us so I cut it up and used it in the handles to create the form and give them the necessary strength.


Our cats likes to help me when I'm making something on the floor. Especially when I use scissors (as seen above, almost).
