Even closer to done!

Worked on what I thought would be the hardest part. The heavy duty snaps!
I know, they weren't listed in my materials. I skipped using a few things and switched things around. For the lack of being able to find an adjustable slide (that I wouldn't have to order online) I opted for heavy duty snaps!

You'll see how it all comes together hopefully by tomorrow, because all that's left is the closer for the flap and to sew it all together!
I've got some poor lighting in this place so if it's not fiarly light out, it can be hard to work.
Here are a few more pictures.

The lining, the interface is showing for the moment, this is it all zipped up.

The inside with the inner pocket showing.

And! Thank goodness for hello kitty band-aids! The straight pins got me and the exacto knife I used to make holes for the snaps.

Nearly done

I have been working on the bag!
I have a few in progress pictures that I'll post up with the finished bag.
I was sick for a week in there so I've been a bit behind. Sewing just didn't seem like a fun activity when I was feeling like my head and sinuses might implode at any time.
Working out the strap with buttons as I type, well I will be as soon I finish typing this.
Went to jo-ann today with a trusty 40% off coupon and got two more yards of natural canvas ($10.99 a yard, yikes!) for $14and some change thanks to the coupon. I am loving those coupons! So as soon as I finish this bag it's straight into the second one.
I'm against the clock now. Getting sick was not in the plan and put me really far behind!

Getting things together

I was a bit delayed because of my lack of interfacing. I should know better than to start a project without having all I need. I am teaching myself as I go, so I'll use that as my excuse.

I've finally gotten all my pieces cut, minus the interfacing. That's the next step. Once I get that together, I can pin the lining and get that sewn together.

Messenger/diaper bag

Below is the material for my newest project. Honestly one I should have started a while ago, but just didn't feel inspired to get to. But hopefully I can make some progress with it this weekend.
I've of course misplaced the fusible interfacing I had, so I'll have to go get more. Yay for coupons from Jo-Anns!

Frogs, puppies and natural duck cloth 10 oz.

Another pincushion-

(I should note, I've been trying to make this post since shortly after noon. My phone is such a PITA)
After talking a bit with a co-worker came up with a few new idea for the flower pot pincushions.

We were talking about scrapbook stickers. I don't do scrapbooking, but I went and found a bunch of really cute, 3D-ish stickers that I thought would be cute to use.

I plan on making straight pins to match the theme, probably a bit later.

I'll post them when I do.

Slightly closer look.
