I have an exciting boxing update. I'm sparring 3 nights a week and I'm working toward my first fight! I'm very excited about it and some days I can hardly believe it. 

Since I've started sparring I have a lot more gear to carry around so I had to make myself a new bag. I had been using a bag that Jessica made in her high school sports sewing class. You can admire her teenage work below:

For the new bag, I just used fabric that I had laying around. There are a lot of pockets to hold the small bits like hand wraps, water, and mouth guards.  I made the main body of the bag extra large so I can just chuck everything in it instead of having to tetris shoes and gloves and headgear all the time.

I've been meaning to make nice shopping bags for about two years, and I finally sat down yesterday afternoon and did it. I wanted something beautiful to carry all the groceries and these are way better than the crumpled paper sacks I've been using. 

I made each bag with less than 1/3 of a yard of fabric. I used some upholstery scraps that I had in my cabinet, so I didn't have to buy anything!

Fabric was given to me for review from modes4u.com.

Opinions are mine and post does not receive any other compensation other than fabric to try.
