Hey fellow crafty-lovers!
. . .Finally I'm able to present another Making-Of! *yay*
This ain't really going to be a tutorial, because it's just too easy to do. . . ;)
But in case you're interested in watching the steps from a simple plain 1€ cotton tote to a unique handmade piece of Accessoire. . .
(that you can even purchase in my shop !!! =D)
. . . you might hopefully enjoy the following images. ^-^
All you need. . . (besides LOVE & fun ;b)
a plain natural white (or whatever uni-color you like) cotton bag
(You can find these easily on the internet, or at the supermarket,. . . you know, the stuff the have under the checkout counter, where the plastic bags are,too. But maybe you need to search a little, till you find a supermarket that has NOT already prints of their logo on the bags. In Germany I found them in Kaufland stores.)
textile / laundry marker
(There are two different types. Next to the usually sold pens, that come in various colors and are washable till 30-60°C, there are these laundry markes, which are mostly black and withstand up to 90°C. I recommend those for durability, but you need to know, that they're not as saturated in color as the others! )
ruler (optional)
iron (for fixing the marker)

On one side, I wanted a chevron pattern.
. . .Simply started out with the first ziagzag lining.
Next thing is to decide about the width between the lines.
I made little dots for every edge point. (Think I measured it with the ruler. . .)
. . .That way you can simply connect the dots afterwards and draw
nice and straight lines without much effort.
. . . FOR THE COMPLETE ARTICLE :
To keep a little 'special' and not produce just another allover print look,
I stopped after a few rows and left the bottom part white.
When finished with the outlines, just hatch every second row. . .
It's not easy to stay inside the lining and still hatch fast enough to get that
sketchy look. That's also becouse of the rough texture that causes the tip of
the felt-like pen to get hooked a little bit as it wears out more and more.
Those handles were just too boring without a little pattern. . .
Unfortunately my camera's batteries gave up after that, but I din't. . .
Meaning, I don't have pictures of how I drew the backside.
But it's just an impriviesed arrowhead pattern. I varied the space
betweenthe lines there, to get different density on each set of arrows.

But that's about all there is to say to it. ;)
Afterwards, the textile needs to be ironed, to fixate the marker.
Et voilá. . . that's it.
Here are some pictures of the finished bag. ^-^
The other bag on the left will be featured here soon,
Hope you enjoyed this!
