I'm ready to go on a safari! Well, at least I have a stylish bag for it. I fell in love with this fabric. I used to keep a nature journal and this fabric looks like a journal from a safari. Can you imagine what it must be like to go on a safari and see these majestic animals in their natural habitat?
And I used to have a bag when I was a teen that was a basic canvas bag with a large giraffe printed on it. I loved and used that bag until it needed to be thrown away! So, I really enjoyed using the giraffe print fabric too. The lining fabric has lots of giraffes on it.
This is yet another different pattern. It has the drawstring effect as a design element, but the real closure method is a magnetic snap. I had to learn to install eyelets. Matt helped me figure it out. Took quite awhile to install all 24 of them, but it was worth the effect.
I was hoping to find a giraffe charm to embellish with, but couldn't find any. But isn't that a great elephant? I wanted to do more embellishments, maybe some Swarovski crystals, but they just didn't seem to go. Sometimes I just have to leave well enough alone.
So, what do you think, too wild?

LOVE it! I really want a bag! I have this run-down tote bag that I got at Macy's in NY a few years ago and it's so boring and generic. I'd love something that is my personality..
One of these days...
Didn't I say that before??
You did a terrific job on this bag. I really love it. Did you design the bag pattern? I'd love to have it. Thanks for any information
Thanks, Rebecca and Terry! It is so much fun to have a bag that reflects your personality. Some day, Rebecca!
Terry, the pattern is a Susan Rose Design. It's called Sweet N Sassy. I bought the pattern at Henrietta's. Here's the link:
