In usual Rye being a total sped fashion, I meant for the bees to be on the outside, and I realized halfway that I layered it the wrong, but I realized I like the watermelon on the outside muuuuuuch more, so it was a happy little accident, like Bob Ross would say.

The bag was a few wrinkles, yuck :x

I love it. It's ENORMOUS, though it's hard to tell in pictures, so I put all of my make up and my allergy meds in there, and there's still a ton of room.

People are working are starting to ask me to make bags for them that they'll pay for. I dunno if I should maybe start selling some of them. They're pretty cheap. The smaller bags cost about 3 dollars each to make, and this big one was about 6 dollars to make, so there's room for a little profit. But is this more of a hobby. I dunno. =O

BTW IGNORE MY WRINKLY SHEETS PLEASE THEY BOTHER ME TOO BUT I JUST GOT THEM OUT OF THE PACKAGE SO THEY'RE ALL WRINKLY FROM BEING WRAPPED IN THERE. >;OOOOOO

This is my favorite of all the bags you've posted so far! I love the bold red watermelon print on the outside paired with the fluffier patterned inside! Very nice. And I say, even if it's a hobby, if someone is offering to buy them then go for it. No harm in making a little extra cash out of your hobby!

OMG <333

As for selling them - go for it, I say. It's obvious you enjoy doing this.

Fairie bag! Sooo cute. I'll stick you and Levian in a bag!

Thanks guys! I think my next project is to make my own fabric patterns. Spoonflower.com is letting people order free test swatches at midnight so I'm going to order a test of this silly little blue gingham tare panda pattern I made, and I'll see how I like the quality of their materials. It's not a terribly expensive service, so if I like it, I might make a few of my own designs! Gotta relearn Adobe Illustrator! :bigsmile:

You need to push out them bottom corners!
