I Needed a Bag

I’ve started bringing my own supplies in for my second massage job. As I was packing everything up, I realized I don’t have a bag that really works for this task. So I decided to make one. Of course.

I need something really durable and able to hold some weight easily. I have an idea for a cotton mat to hold my marble stones that will roll out. They can be heavy. So I’m doing a double layered stitch thing. Mixing rows of double-strand with an overlap set should help keep it strong.

I’m having fun with it, but because I decided to get all complicated it’s going to take longer than I thought. I’m going to add pockets inside for different items too. That way they’re not all rolling around and spilling onto each other.

I’m not quite sure how I’m going to do the handles or strap for this. I definitely want to be able to easily carry it in my hand, but also appreciate the option to sling it over a shoulder to keep my hands free. Both options need to be weighted correctly so I don’t hurt myself. All part of the fun!
