Loved this video and had almost all the ingredients! Serger, grommets and a ton of fabric to destash. The only thing missing were shoe laces and Payless had a 20% off entire store sale going on. Lucky me. Using shoelaces was brilliant as they are already finished. I used 36 inch ones for both sizes of the bag since I couldn't find any 27 inch ones.
I tried to get fancy with some embroidery but I don't quite have the hang of it on my Janome. The only mod I made was to round the open bottom corners using a CD as a template, to make it easier to serge around. Also my "safety" 4 stitch serge did not look too good so I re-enforced the seam with a straight stitch on the sewing machine. These are quite and easy and fun to personalize.
I used a stopper knot to tie the shoelaces together.
Add. I forgot to post about another FO
A Giro of Another Color.
Pattern: Giro, by Inês Sousa from Primavera Book
Yarn: Koromo, by Noro
Needles: Size 8
The pattern calls for fingering. Koromo is aran weight and quite rustic I may add. I used almost all of 3 balls. I used a croched hook for the picot bind out. The curved neck edge blocked to 62 inches. I feels very warm, but it is pretty warm and sunny here today. The Noro stripes behaved quite nicely. The colorway was difficult to photograph. The yellow and mauve actually pop out quite a bit more then in the picture. Love this pattern.
