Bonus points if you know the song reference. (Okay so they points are not worth anything, but if you know it you can feel smart.)
I made the second bag in the
"Zip It Up."class on Craftsy.
This bag is called "Nickita." It was surprisingly easy to make and I consider it a complete success. The free motion quilting was NOT in the class instructions. She explains a much easier way to stitch the layers together....but I wanted to quilt it. So, I did.

The colors are truest in this photo of my Nickita bag. |
I decided to make the handles with a completely different fabric that accentuates the blue bits in the feathers. I also added a blue pull to the lavender zipper just to add a bit of whimsy. You can peek at the lining fabric in the open photo below.

The colors are "off" a bit in this picture. |
I am thinking I will use this one as a shave kit when I travel. However, this would be a great bag to carry some sewing supplies with you for hand work, or to a guild sewing day.
It may be a few days, but I want to make the
Bendy Bag that is taught in this class too. If you click the link, you can see pictures of it.

Love the bag. I have been wanting to make one similar just haven't sat down to do it.
Love that bag!!
Elton John!!
Very whimsical color combo....love it!
Yes, a travel kit of some kind, very cool! Oh, and knowing the song reference didn't make me feel smart, just old. ;)
Wait, is it Elton John? Holy moly, I was thinking Perry Como. Well, older either way.
Everytime I hear that song by Elton John it brings me almost to tears, I have seen the video which is lovely.,
Love your bag, I am afraid of zippers, I have only put in two one when I was in middle school and one on my wedding dress, both were okay but still, I am afraid of zippers, the bag is lovely.

I got the Elton John reference immediately because we are about the same age. My bags are still wonky, despite the same Craftsy class. I need to practice more.
A great bag. I can see using to carry crochet needles also :) I should look up the class, the sandwich bag I am using is wearing out!
How was this bag to sew Gene? I have the course but haven't got around to making this one. How does it compare to the "Runaround Bag" from the same class?
