how it started
I drew a pattern on paper and then traced the bag for the prototype. I had never done a no-sew bag and making my own pattern took some trial and error figuring out the holes for lacing.

Next step: designing
I came up with some ideas drawing things I ike about Gypsy Gladiator with the same font I used to cut out the decals for my her name.

I decided to add a picture under the flap closure using my logo and a silhouette of Gypsy Gladfiator.

The strap is designed to weave through the sides and bottom of the purse to hold it together without sewing.

I added the buckle for the strap and the snaps.. note to self- put those snaps on before building-Yikes!

I really like how this is going. Now I just have to decide how I want to add color, if I want to antique the leather to a darker brown. I really love the light color but I know me- I will get it dirty too easy.

DECIDED TO PAINT IT

I should have crossed the side flaps in the opposite order so the open edge faced the back. I won't make that mistake again, I just have to live with it on my prototype.

I don't know where these colors came from but I like it and it. Everything I own s turquoise...so I guess I need more pink to wear with this one.

Final touches....
I struggled with the paint a bit but added some bling to the hibiscus and it made me happy. Time to get busy on another one... all said-less than 48 hours from an idea to reality.
