I'm not sure why those pink zips look so bright in the photos. They're not that vivid in person.
Back to the bag! One side of the bag is for my yo-yo making supplies.
I forgot to take a pic of the fabric for the yo-yos which is in the first striped zippered pocket right next to the yo-yo makers.
In the middle, I overlapped the striped fabric a bit to hold the odds and ends--scissors, pens, needles. It's a bit hard to see in the photo.
The other side has my embroidery things. The striped pocket has the thread
and the back pink zipper pocket has the hoop and fabric.
Yes, that is black fabric in there. I've got a ton of fabric with designs in primary colors on black backgrounds that I'm hoping to coordinate with these embroidery designs. I'm going to have to do some free-hand drawing cuz I've not been able to come up with a way of getting the designs on black. Wish me luck with this idea. I am not known for my ability to draw much beyond stick figures, but I'm determined to give this a go.
I really, really wanted those center pockets (pink stripes) to be clear plastic but failed MISERABLY in my attempts to sew zippers on plastic. I spent hours trying every trick I could find. First, I'm spatially challenged. I had the worst time trying to figure out how to put it together. Then, my use of tape to keep the plastic from sticking to the machine didn't quite work out. The plastic kept shifting away from the zipper even when pinned. Any tips for my next venture with zippers and plastic would be most appreciated.
