I’m a peculiar traveler. I try to exclusively engage in things that fall under these 2 categories:
1. Make.
2. Do.
This is the messenger bag I made.
Materials
Liner – Angry Birds bag I used for teaching at the rural Siem Reap school, Cambodia.
Outer layer – polka dotted 1 meter cloth from Ho Chi Minh City central market, Vietnam.
Side panels – table mats from Bangkok department store, Thailand.
Skills learned
Sewing by hand, particularly the backstitch (stronger).
Patience.
A benefit of slow travel is the relaxed time to do such ridiculous things 🙂
