If you can, please also consider tipping me on my ko-fi or paypal if you enjoy my free-for-download patterns. From each according to ability, to each according to need.

Have fun spinning all your reactionary wheels. It’s expected and does nothing.
Consider the absurdities, violence and injustice this government has wrought. Consider friends and family who are part of the LGBTQ+ community, if you have any who trust you with their company and knowledge of their true selves.

This is the final product of nearly 7 months’ labor. Perhaps its anticlimactic; still the process was enjoyable, maybe even therapeutic. Call it my anger in a nutshell, call it poorly-assembled symbolism, call it liberal bullshit. Go ahead and use whatever narrow labeling you feel compelled to. So much truth is lost to reactionary fervor.

Am I angry? Rightfully so. Am I flawed in my symbolism? Yes I think so, since one image with 8 words can’t convey all the nuance there is to be had. Am I another insufferable liberal? Fuck no, insomuch as a liberal does not a leftist make, despite all conflation of the two terms.

So here it stands.

Item description:
Messenger/tote bag with some sewing and hardware construction (fabric lining, zipper, strap, metal loops/slide adjusters). Body is worked in the round, then words are added using duplicate stitch.
In the pattern download, you’ll get pdfs of both word charts and basic written instructions for the rest with tutorial links for sewing techniques. Word charts are easily adaptable to items of any gauge (blankets, sweaters, hats, scarves, etc)

Measures 22” x 15”
Big enough to hold laptops, large sketch pads, books, etc.

Approximate yardage count breaks down as follows:
650 yards of Lion Brand yarn for body of the bag
110 yards of Caron Simply Soft for the words.
