Bombing for peace is like..... Super-cute and stealth-cheek minibag

Description

This adorable knit minibag sports a semi-stealth and slightly sanitized version of a popular Vietnam War-era, anti-war protest slogan: "Bombing for peace is like shagging for virginity". (I'm sure you can guess what word "shagging" is replacing!)

I'm calling this item "stealth cheek" since the bag is small (5" square) and the words at first glance appear as if they could be typical girly-girl embroidery and one has to look a little closer to get the message. :o)

The bag is knitted from a lovely wool/alpaca blend yarn in black, and the words and graphic are hand embroidered onto the front surface (pearl grey for the words, metallic silver for the bomb and deep red for the no-circle). The strap has a 12" drop (so it actually can be worn over the shoulder) and is a nice, stitched black pleather (synthetic) material. It attaches to the bag via rings that are sewn securely to the inner side seams.

The bag is lined with gorgeous silky Liberty lawn fabric in a black and white flower pattern. I've also added a bit of interfacing, so you can carry your phone, camera, wallet, etc. without worrying about the bag stretching out of shape. The bag closes with two small snaps.

By the way, if you love this but just MUST have the original un-sanitized slogan, email/convo me and I'd be happy to make you one of your very own. It's too much fun embroidering obscenities!
