The bag that could've been
When I was making this bag, I thought I finally had it. Perfect stitching, great combination of vintage fabrics. This just could become my first sale on Etsy.But then I ironed it one more time (you know, to make it even more perfect for the pictures), somehow got stuck behind the zipper and made a…
Update
It just doesn’t feel right to have that picture of our desintegrated floor on top of my blog, so here’s some other things of our weekend. Relaxing on our bed and knitting some stress away.
