This is the bag that I made for Friend Julie for Christmas.<\/p>\n

\"Purple<\/a>

I finished this quickly back in October, which was fortunate, because I didn’t have much sewing time in October and November and December quickly became busy. When I was ready to sew, I surprisingly, found all the pieces already cut out. I don’t remember cutting them all out, but I must have at some point. \ud83d\ude09 It was like magic and reminded me that the prep for bags takes the longest time in terms of making the bag.<\/p>\n

This bag matches the Mini-Maker Case<\/a> I made for Friend Julie<\/a> back when the mini Oliso came out. That was during the pandemic as I remember opening our gifts for each other in a parking lot! LOL!<\/p>\n

\"Couch<\/a>

This is one of the best Hackneys that I have made. It stands up very well. I filled it with almost all of the Christmas gifts I bought for her. It is amazing how much it holds.<\/p>\n

I am not sure this is exactly the right color zipper, but it goes pretty well with the bag, overall. I don’t think the regular purple zipper<\/a> available would match any better.<\/p>\n

\"Couch<\/a>

The interior is a completely different purple, actually more of a lavender.<\/p>\n

In this version of the Hackney, I put a glitter vinyl pocket. It will be good for flat items, but does not stretch at all, like the mesh pocket and, thus, I think items might slip out. I hope not, but I thought of that later.<\/p>\n

\"Couch<\/a>

I am still working on making sure I put a label in each bag that I make. I was able to add two to this one.<\/p>\n

My goal is to always put one of my AQ labels inside. I am also, every now and again, adding one of the labels that Julie gave me as part of the 2022 Advent calendar<\/a>. I really like those labels. That was a great gift.<\/p>\n

As I said, I am pleased with how this bag came out and the more I look at it, the more I want to make a Hackney for myself.<\/p>\n
