Here is my latest creation... My friend is leaving for South Africa for school. She needed a durable, pick pocket proof bag to use.

| This is the front of the bag with the flap completely open and pulled up. |
| Here is a picture of the interior of the bag. |
| I decided to try a hidden top zipper. I thought that would make the bag less easy to get into by some one other than it's owner! :) I also added an interior zipper pocket to keep important things... |
| My first go at this type of zipper! |
