#50 bookbag finished

After another 15 hours of stitching this week, I finished the bookbag.


First, I sewed the pockets into the lining.


Stitching the zipper in.


Putting it all together. This is the most difficult and time consuming step, because there are so many layers that need to be stitched together. The tips of my thumbs and pointer fingers are tender now!


The finished product:


I will also make a velvet bag to ship and store the bag in, so I guess I'm not completely finished.

My next project is a request for a custom-designed bag, similar to this one but larger with different pocket placement. I'm excited to start sketching and creating color samples for the client.
