Juntas, Vamos a Viajar el Mundo
“Feet, why do I need them, if I have wings to fly?
– Frida Kahlo
My new travel bag, made with some CAOK-gifted fabric featuring my favorite artist, from Viv of Maine. Amy Butler birdie sling, canvas interior and handle. Red polka dot pocket for luck inside. Will hold: stack of books, journal, camera, Nalgene, snacks, knitting project, gum, lip gloss and my passport. Something about traveling with a bit of Frida makes this all that much more exciting!

May 29th, 2008 at 4:37 pmanother gorgeous bag! Etsy now says my pattern has shipped, but I ordered it over two weeks ago. I am getting antsy to make my own birdie sling with some birdie fabric I have
May 29th, 2008 at 5:29 pmHi Kelli,
) But no nalgene, it contains that yucky chemical BPA! Get a nice stainless bottle, they say it makes the water taste better, too. Though I thought the point of water was that it had no flavor? Have a great trip! Can’t wait to hear about it and see pics!
May 29th, 2008 at 6:24 pmLove this bag style (hint hint
Wow! It can hold all of that!!??!! I love your choice of fabrics

Cute bag and safe travels! Hugs.

May 29th, 2008 at 7:23 pmI sent my mom a link to “Segundo Pajaro,” and she loved looking through the rest of your projects. She sent an extra email to me tonight with these two lines:
“Whoever is the ‘person’ /sewer on the blog site (that was in the forwarded connection) was a great seamstress…her sewing was good. I was impressed. Pass that along when you are blogging with that person. The red apron was precious.”
She used to be a home ec teacher. I don’t think she can help but judge one’s work (maybe that’s why I never learned to sew!). Anyway, I just had to pass it on.
(and in the first email, she mentioned she has that pattern. she bought it last week at a quilting shop. there went any motivation I had to make it for myself…)
May 29th, 2008 at 8:24 pmI LOVE that fabric. Great bag.
May 29th, 2008 at 10:45 pmAnother really nice bag! Frida will surely take care of you and bring you safely home!
