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

| These books are where I found the patterns. |
 |
| This is the finished bag... a fun messenger made with black canvas type material on the outside and fun purple batik on the inside. |
 |
| This is a close up of the handle. |
 |
| Here is the front closure, hiding three pockets. |
 |
| Side view... |
 |
| 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! |
 |
| front pockets... |
 |
| Side cell phone pocket! |
I love bags that are plain on the outside and then open up into something bright inside.
ReplyDeleteBag looks great - lucky friend
Thank you so much, Wendy! This bag is really quite easy to make and very fun. It is a great size and functions well. Some bags look cute, but don't "work" very well. This one is both! I love fun fabric, some people don't like the outside of the bag to be so wild, so then I put the wild on the inside! Have a great day, Wendy!
