A few things.

First, I want to know if you have any suggestions on what to do in the blog. If you want me to do something (like tutorials, contests, challenges, stage for bag makers to show their bags and promote them, write about something about bags, etc. it's your decision, what you want to see in this blog.

Since my sewing machine didn't really want to work when I wanted to start sewing a new bag, in the meantime I've prepared the pieces of 2 bags. So I've been working on 2 bags at the time. Here are the pieces that I've prepared:

The blue pieces are already a bag, I finished it yesterday and that's what it looks like:

It has a zipper closure which you cannot see in this picture, sorry. It cotton/vinyl (blue/blue) And I'm hoping to sew together the second bag's pieces (the red ones) very soon.

Last thing, I came across a bag yesterday on another website that has a designing element that was pretty suspicious. Because I presented a bag on the net some time ago that had something that I'm pretty sure I made up design-wise, and I also wrote in its description about this one element. So now I saw that bag for sell, that someone made, and it had in its description the explaination about that element. At first I thought, "okay, coincidence". But then I read the description and it's way too much mine. It could be only a coincidence. But it was very suspicious. My point is, I'm no gonna do a big deal about it, it could be nothing. But I just want to ask you not to steal any ideas. You can be inspired by my bags, sure. But I'm working very hard on finding and making up new and original designs that I'm hoping you haven't seen before, and I wouldn't want people to steal those ideas. I can't copy people because I like being original, and I hope other people feel the same way. I know that when you put your designs on the internet there is a risk in it. But I want to trust people not to copy mine. Hope you understand. It's a little bit off topic, but I had to tell you about it.
