Still creating♥️💛. I’m perfecting this bag. That is why I keep repeating it. And it gets better each time.

Week six of showing up and creating.
I had the idea, designed the pattern, and brought this bag to life using Northern Ghana kente.
Just getting better, one piece at a time.

Part 1: The thought process for this week’s creative challenge.

04/04/2026

I am back with another project this week and it’s my new favorite until next week 🤣.

So for this bag I used the skills I developed in the past few weeks to create my own pattern which I measured and cut out. I had been envisioning this bag since last week. How I wanted the fringe, the size, and the strap. It all came together and I am so proud. Would you wear this? What do you think?

The actual bag is 14” and the fringe extends the look but not functionality.

Process video coming soon.

Sewing tubes and flipping them right side out can be tedious without the right tools. Back when I made shoelaces I have to use the tube and wooden sticks. They make the process much easier and if your involves turning tubes, then you might want to get this.

Part 2: When you cut corners while sewing, you pay for it down the road. Cutting the notches is key to sewing the pattern pieces correctly.

Week five was so much fun. Not only are my sewing skills improving, I am also getting better at editing my videos and not as shy on camera. I’ve split this process into 4 parts. Can’t wait for you all to see the final product.

Back at it again 🤗. Making the long strap shoulder bag. I haven’t chosen the material I will make this one out of yet, but I’m going to be intentional about pattern placement because the more I create the better the items will be and that includes those small decisions along the way.

Have you noticed I reported fewer mistakes the past two weeks?
