Posted below is the progression of my latest batch of Satchels starting this morning. The finished bags will be available in my shop this evening. Thought I would give you a glimpse into their production today.
This morning at about 10:00 a.m. when I entered my studio these 4 bags were awaiting me. I made the main body of each bag and their flaps the day before.
By around noon I created an interior lining for each bag with one zippered pocket and one slip pocket. I had cut out and interfaced each piece yesterday so all I had to do is sew today. After they were complete I proceeded to make an adjustable strap for each bag using cotton webbing.
The next step was to attach the strap to each bag and then sew the lining into the bag. At around 2:00 a.m. they were done. At this point I photographed them so I would be able to add them to the shop tonight. They should be available in the Pesky Cat Designs shop at around 8 PM!

I find cutting and interfacing the pieces takes 2/3 of the whole bag making time...
I wish I had some little elves doing it for me so I could concentrate only on sewing the bag together and decorating it...
very cool seeing the stages. i am always so excited to see what you'll make next!!!
