Blog Highlight: Cold Hands Warm Heart

I was having my daily fix of Pinterest, when I chanced upon this tutorial.

As usual, the fun title "Braided Belt Messenger Bag"is what really caught my eye first, followed by the eye catching fabric of course :)

I though, hey... this is so clever!

Often times, I wanted to make a nice messenger bag for myself, but am out of suitably "nice" strap. Sometimes, I just dont want to use the same fabric for the strap, but buying leather straps is just too troublesome for me, especially since it's just a one-off project.

But, I do have LOTS of all kinds of leather belts that are hanging in my wardrobe, waiting patiently for its turn of glory, :D

What better way to use it than this? The length is easily adjustable with the buckle, & the colour/texture is already what we'd have loved in the first place (otherwise we wont have it in our wardrobe right?) ^^

And, for those of you who've been accumulating fabrics & running out of ideas, this tutorial & fun pattern is bound to get you inspired, & itching to get right to work right away!

Check out Cold Hands Warm Heart for this fun, easy to follow tutorial for a brand new Messenger Bag for yourself, with a cool Braided (or other Leather) Belt to boot!

Pls show me what you managed to work on, I'd LOVEEEE to see them :D

Have fun!

* No fabric? Fret not :) Choose from the wide selection at Laughing House Fabric, & get started on this Bag soon ^^
