After a cup of Komodo Dragon coffee and about 10 more caramels than the recommended serving size, I decided I needed a bokken bag. Amazon didn't have anything I liked so pulled out my sewing machine Kimmy and whipped one up. Remember the coffee? I tend to sew "things" when I have too much caffeine.
I reached for the black and red cloth and then.... my hand touched the baby blue and it just spiraled out of control. The plus side is that A) I don't need to write my name on it B) It doesn't really look threatening as a weapons bag C) I still have room to had more sparkly stuff to it!
I am really glad that I have an instructor that is okay with my … self-expression.
Construction notes: The bottom is reinforced with a foam drink cozy, a plastic bracelet is sewed between the layers of the top to give it form, some of the patches are coin purses (this gives the bag some pockets for the tsuba, keys, mouth gaurd, etc.), holds two bokken.
