Well, I've been working on this guy for a lil over 2 weeks.
I was trying to put something together for while I'm walking through the woods or riding my bike, and I figured patchwork would be the smartest thing to do with the fabric at hand (Wal Mart bandanas, lol).
It's completely hand sewn, since I don't have a working sewing machine.
And, well, I think it turned out fairly well considering the minor boo boos I'd encountered along the way (such as one side being wider than the other, lol).

Here it is on display (on my un-vacuumed floor, haha)

Here's the sligtly ghetto interior (I'm definitely doing the strap a lil different with the next bag I make - this one's a lil ghetto, lol)

And, of course, an "action shot" - pardon my PJs, I was lazy hehe wink

I love it! Especially how different all of the patches are. Plus I love that one with the skull, but that's just because I'm a sucker for skulls.

Thank you sooo much!!!
Ironically, I have neither skill nor patience, lol, though I do appreciate the compliment verrrrrry much!!!!
I can't even cut in a straight line, let alone sew in one.
And it took me over 2 weeks to assemble, thanks to my lack of patience.
Good thing I'm too stubborn to have given upon it!! wink
