First Design Idea

I constructed my first design idea based on my grandmas plastic tote. I used a fairly heavy weight canvas fabric along with leather for the trim.

First Prototype

During construction the bag was looking just fine and I found the shape was coming out just the way I had envisioned. But after it was fully done I was not very pleased with the size and shape as it was not what I had pictured in my mind.

I believe since I am using just 2d sketches to finalize my designs and sizes I may miss out on a few specs on the first samples and will have to do adjustments to the pattern and try it out all over again.
