A Bogota Bag!

This bag is being made for a friend who is going to Bogota on a missions trip this summer.  She needed a durable bag that would be difficult to pick pocket.  

The bag is made with an upholstery fabric on the outside and a coordinating fabric on the inside.  The outside of the bag is completely interfaced with heavy fusible interfacing to give the bag shape and strength.  

The bag also has an inside zip...courtesy of Lisa Lam's book...The Bag Making Bible.  Lisa Lam has a great tutorial in there on how to install a concealed zip in almost any bag.  

Here are the beginning photos.  The pattern is from the book that is pictured.  The book is great.  Lots of fun projects and really easy to understand directions.  
The finished bag pictures will be posted soon!
