Mystery Bag Revealed.

Ok. So it really isn't a mystery. But it might have been a mystery, if I could have completed it as one. Let me explain. This Large, Shoulder Tote/Weekender bag, started out to be a Back Pack of the Bergen Rucksack type. I bought a bunch of heavy weight cotton canvas for the structural foundation of the bag and started out. I did the outside quilted pattern and then quilted it to the canvas inner liner, along with a high loft wool batting, (nice stuff that). Then I started to assemble it into the semblance of a rucksack. By the time I got about 3/4 of the way through assembly, I was having difficulty passing the elements through the pressure foot of my Bernina treadle. There were, at times 6 layers of heavy cotton canvas along with the batting and outside quilted piece. I realized I would have to have a larger height pressure foot to complete the rucksack, so in a flash of brilliance, (desperation), I converted the whole thing to a Large Shoulder Tote/ Weekender bag, and said finished. It is probably a good thing that this happened, as if I had finished the rucksack, I would have probably had to make a "Dirndl" for Lois to wear, so she could sing "Edelweiss", and do the whole thing properly. That was a visual I didn't need to visit, so as I say, it was a good thing I didn't complete the rucksack. The Weekender description was given by Lois, and I think it is a good one. It will swallow a large amount of stuff, which should suffice for an overnight getaway. Anyway, it is what it is, and here it is. This is the final one of this series, as I am bored to death doing any more of these things. I have a couple of different items I am working out the particulars of, so I am not done with these objects just yet. But no more of this pattern for now.
