Liebling's bag!

8/23/2013

I just finished this gorgeous bag! I like this bag so much I decided to call it "Liebling's bag". Liebling - as part of my label name - means "darling" in German but as an adjective it also has the meaning "favorite". That pretty much sums it up: this is my new favorite bag! And it is now available in my charmed Liebling Etsy shop.

This medium sized bag comes with a lot of hardware, which makes it look super stylish and professional:
The strap ends are connected to gate rings, which are then hooked into grommets on either top corner of the bag (gate rings are rings that you can snap open). The flap closes with a magnetic snap.

There is a zip pocket on the back as well as a slip pocket and an elasticized pocket on the inside of the bag.

I interfaced the bag with By Annie's Soft and Stable which gives it a really nice shape. All fabrics are 100 % cotton.

I decided to keep the strap simple, it is approx. 29 inches long. I made it thinner than you might expect it to be (it is about 0.75") which makes a nice contrast to the big gate rings.

Best thing about the bag: I am working on the pattern which will be released in my pattern store on September 4, so come back to my blog for updates!

Anna, that is one gorgeous bag! I love it! Where did you find the gate rings? I've never seen them in any of our local stores.

PS: I was going to sell my messenger bag, but I can't bring myself to let go of it. I love it too much! I'll just have to make more I guess. LOL

Thanks PJ! I am glad you like your messenger bag so much!
I couldn't find the gate rings in my local stores either so I purchased them online. There are a few shops on Etsy that sell them and I even had mine after five days already, so that was pretty good :)

Using colors from the Dutch flag (red, white and blue) Ingrid crocheted this wonderful messenger bag using a design by Stella Roodbeen.
