Having decided that I needed a new, steampunkish bookbag for school (my pink nylon one, which I loved, was starting to look grungy, so...) and having found a swatch of sand-colored courderoy in the free box, I got to work and made this! All sewing was done by hand, all materials are scratch--the clip was cut off another bag and decked out in gears with superglue, the patch was cut off another shirt, the wings came from a pair of too-large earrings etc. Enjoy! And no...I won't be making another for a while. My fingers are raw!
Here's a better image of the whole bag
The patch and a bob hanging on the back--cameo and jewelry findings--all scraps.
This is the clip, which I am very proud of. :)And here's the whole thing from the back: 
Hope you like it! I certainly do... :) Why am I so into steampunk? Well--don't forget about this!!

LOVE! Fabulous job making it. It's awesome!
As for why you're so into steampunk... probably the exact same reason I'm so into it. Unfortunately the exact psychology behind that attraction eludes me. As soon as I figure it out, I'll let you know. ; )
That rocks!
The visuals of steampunk attract me greatly. It's strange - machines everywhere, but they all lie open so you can see their hearts, almost. And it's kind of dirty and odds-and-endsy.
