The prototype for v.5 has been my personal bag since it first took shape around November. Lately I’d get a little embarrassed showing it off because it’s gotten a bit ratty around the edges. Add to that the reeking smell of two rounds of cat piss and you can see why the prototype needed to go. Thank you Simon the cat for helping make this transition so effortless.
So R.I.P. original blue prototype and welcome to the new orange & gray striped wonder that is now my main bag. I definitely like showing this one off, & I think I’ll do a whole line of striped v.5s. Right now I’m working on an all orange bag with orange & black stripes for the flap… hot!
A couple of my bags sold from subdivision this week. It’s great to know my little babies are wrapping themselves around a strangers’ torsos right about now. So now, with my sewing machine all lubed up & happy, I have a bit of a crunch to make a couple replacement bags for subdivision as well as some bags to show off to the folks in Denver. I wanted to take four to Denver, but making 6 bags in the next two weeks with friends in from out of town doesn’t seem too easy. Watch out for some crazy color combinations as I start using my stock of fabric more often. Luckily Simon the Saboteur will have no way of enacting his evil upon the new bags.
