ROAR Bag

It was late.

I was high on chicken 'Twisties'.

I had already made a dinosaur tail for the birthday party we were going to ... but I wanted to sew more ... it had been so long since I had sewn.

I started with some precut components of my tote bags that I found in the big clean up and this is what I ended up with.



I used Curlypops technique for the lettering, but rather than print out the lettering on the computer (because my hubby was playing World of Tanks), I drew the letters freehand.



When ironing on the applique I couldn't help myself but include a Tyranosaurus Rex peeping up from the edge of the flap.



Inside a pocket and a clip for things. Bag hardware from Nicole M. The strap had some custom made bias sewn onto it for effect.

I think I am going to develop this Child's Satchel Bag a bit more if I have another opportunity. Perhaps this time with a bit more interfacing for structure.

Such cute little Dino's!
Don't you love it when you find pre-cut pieces ready to sew. Brilliant timesaver.
