So last night's topological experiment worked out well. (My boyfriend firmly believes that my under construction, inside out bags look like topological math models and he wonders if I REALLY hate math as much as I confess to. He is, of course, wildly delusional in this idea.)

To make A Flick of the Wrist, I enlarged and altered the pattern for the furry bag from Ottobre Designs. I added darts to make the bag have some capacity and changed the handle construction. The fabric was handpainted by my daughter from paint left over from a mural project. Oh, you should have seen the look of intense joy as she got to fling paint EVERYWHERE! The idea for the neat swivel hook closure came from this slouch bag tutorial in the craftster forums. I think I may have to make this one up for my sister, too.
