Bold, Crazy Or Both? I Need Some Feedback Here
Today I'm going to show you a half finished bag and ask for feedback. Unfortunately I haven't had enough time to finish it but maybe tomorrow.

This is what I'm working on, it's half finished as I've mentioned earlier. The lining is not done yet, plus I need to apply the zipper or the magnet. I don't know yet which one to use. 

Let me tell you the story of this bag and then you can tell me if this is crazy or not.

## The Beginning

I got this checkered fabric as you see it. Must have seen better days once, maybe it was a coat, or a gown, a  big one. Someone has butchered it in advance, when I got it, it looked already like this, the stitches were taken out. Regardless, I liked the fabric right away and could not get it out of my head. Had a few rough days full of stress, could not do anything but today was finally the day for it.

![IMG_20200606_100926a.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/erikah/BXm3Gsxn-IMG_20200606_100926a.jpg)

For some unknown reason I paired it with a light denim in my head, and this is what I had at home. One very light blue, perfect for the job and the other is the wrong side of a normal blue jeans. The light blue would have been a perfect match in my eyes, but then there was this. 

![IMG_20200606_101026a.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/erikah/MdwIAN4Y-IMG_20200606_101026a.jpg)

The pockets were nice and would have been a shame not to use it. The fabric, due to its unique color can't really be paired with something else, so i had no choice but to go with the other one.

This is what accumulator acid does to your jeans, the two are not compatible, so the almost new jeans suffered a huge loss that day. Good thing I'm here to help, right? 

![IMG_20200608_173608a.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/erikah/4Q6ZtFdX-IMG_20200608_173608a.jpg)

This was the right side of the jeans but too dark and not the appropriate color for my project. 

![IMG_20200608_182111a.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/erikah/hIcy05u7-IMG_20200608_182111a.jpg)

This was the wrong side of the jeans, perfect for me and this is the bottom part of the bag. 

![IMG_20200608_182947a.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/erikah/2MBesdsY-IMG_20200608_182947a.jpg)

The next dilemma was which side of the checkered fabric to use. One is simple, the other is a bit fluffy. After some thinking I decided to go with the simple one, I believe that's the wrong side of it, to avoid my bag looking like a blanket. 

![IMG_20200608_195022a.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/erikah/ZWU5Kla1-IMG_20200608_195022a.jpg)

After applying the interface I decided to play safe and quilt it, just in case the interface does not hold properly. After all this is a fluffy fabric. 

![IMG_20200608_200232a.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/erikah/srtXO5re-IMG_20200608_200232a.jpg)

Carry straps applied.

And here it is, half ready. As I said earlier, the lining still needs to be done and have to decide what to use, zipper or magnet. 

Tell me honestly, is this crazy? Was I right to use this checkered fabric? Am I the only one who likes it? Any constructive feedback is welcome.
