The finished bag before blocking.
Sewing a leather strap.
Stitching seam lines for each pocket section.
The finished bag front...
...and back.
Adding a snap closure to keep the front section secure...
...and in close up.
A detail of one of the silk/wool blend spirals.
For those of you who couldn't quite see what I was 'up to' in my last post...
...I hope that these photographs will make things a bit clearer.
I used a large sew-on snap to help keep the front pocket secure...
...and also to keep it from 'flopping open' while one is rummaging around in the back one. :)
I fashioned a narrow grey strap from a piece of leather...
...and attached it in a way that helps to maintain the bag's integrity...
...by anchoring the bag front to the bag back at each side.
I used the last bit of one of my very favorite roving blends (thanks, Ellen!) to make spirals...
...symbols that 'speak' to my old hippie body-worker best friend. :)
