I finally finished Pete's Father's Day gift! The anticipation makes it that much sweeter, right?;) For those that don't know, I like to sew--not clothes really, and definitely nothing with a pattern that I have to buy in the store. I've found that I just don't have the patience for things that require me to follow directions.... Instead, I make things like diaper bags, curtains, funky pillows, etc where I sketch it out before hand and adapt on the fly:) So, each project is different than the last, and I learn something new every time.
So, on to Pete's gift! It's a messenger-style Daddy D-Bag--the colors, materials and external design were all chosen by the man himself, I was just responsible for the assembly. He lovingly calls the main fabric "Bass Boat Red". It's a heavyweight red vinyl w/red glitter sparkles in it, accented with white pleather racing strips; the inside lining/pockets are sport nylon. The final touch is the seat beat clasp on the shoulder strap--I scrounged around a salvage yard here in SLC to find it:) It was a fun project! (note that clicking on an image will allow you to see a bigger version)
