summertime!

This one goes for my father, as it was his birthday a few days ago.
Should have posted then, but well, you know how it is...

1stly
Ηe simply loves boats!
All kinds of boats: real ones, drawn ones, plastic ones...
whatever, it doesn't matter!

2ndly
He doesn't own a real one, but he has already filled 
our house with miniatures and drawings of them.
And apart from that, he has also made a couple of ones on his own,
under scale that is.

traditional boat from Symi island

traditional boat from Skiathos island

He even decided that our address plaque needed a touch of "sea breeze".
He just made a new one of course.

He is a true artist you see,

although he has worked with numbers all his life ;o))

And coming to the main point:
he came across this fabric

and we all now understand that it was over his powers to resist.
Wanted to have a new bag for the beach made with it.

Beeing his birthday I decided to make the effort 

and tataaa!

 It turned out pretty big in size: all the boats had to fit on it :o))

It was a fun job to my big surprise.
I choose a different fabric for the inside to give it a little bit of colour.

It has 2 open pockets for various stuff and mostly for his crossword magazines..

...and one with a zipper for small things not to be missed.

It is spacious and fits many things,
meaning that it can get to weigh pretty heavy, but hey...
he is a big man after all!


I am waiting for him to come back from his vacations and
see which one of them survived (giggles)
