craftgrrl | Bored Derby Girl

What does a broke and bored roller derby chick do on a Friday night? Nope, not go skating. Make a roller derby themed purse, of course!

I decided to use this tutorial to make a shoulder bag out of the roller derby printed material I bought a while ago. Now that I think about it, I think I originally saw the fabric in this community. Anyways, it took me about 2 1/2 hours to make, and I'm very pleased with the results. The only difficult part was cutting out the pattern. It's an awkward size, so cutting it out took some creativity.

The bag is 17"X10" and about 2" deep. The strap is about 2 1/2" wide and 36" long.

Pardon the messy desk in the background. It doesn't mean I'm a slob, it means I'm creative ;)

Inside of the purse. I made a pocket large enough for my cell phone, and for all of my lipgloss. Oh yeah, I also used velcro to keep it shut. Me, zippers, and my sewing machine DO NOT get along.
