Bridle Bag: Part 2

It's been a busy couple of weeks here in my sewing room. I've been finishing up gifts almost every night. Of course, this could have been avoided if I wasn't such a hopeless precrastinaor and didn't wait until the last available week to finsh out everything. When will I learn?

Anyway, I can finally show you some of the things I've been making.

First up: The finished Bridle Bag and last minute matching Pony Tail Bag. 

  

I finally finished up the Bridle Bag. It's going to a friend's daughter for Christmas. I personalized it with her name in embroidery instead of the horse's name. That way she can use for a long time. I hope she liked it. 

   

And then I made a coordinating Pony Tail Bag. I had no idea that some Ponys need a little extra help, so they have fake tail extensions for shows. This bag will house the fake tail when not in use.

They are going to take some pictures of the bags in use, so I'll post them whenever I get them. I'm curious to see how they hold up, considering I've never made either of these before.

Bridle Bag WIP

I've been commissioned by a friend to make a bridle bag for her daughter. Her daughter rides horses, so this bag will hold a horse bridle hanging down inside it. My friend had two requests: a bright blue color that her daughter loves and a handle that will fit over her shoulder.

Since they attend a lot of horse shows, they wanted a bag that they could carry over their shoulder instead of the usual bags which only have a short strap to hang in the stable. I worked out all of the dimensions after researching some other bridle bags and came up with this.

I still have to finish up some odds and ends on this, but I'll post some more pictures when it's complete.

(Please excuse the picture. The bag isn't this wonky in real life.)
