I decided to make a shoulder bag using strips in the front and a solid color on the back. I quilted the front and back of this bag with cotton batting on the wrong side. I lined the bag and included a small inside pocket and decided to use a zipper since I have not done one in a while. Here is the result of my labor. I have yet to name it.
It measures 11" h x 7 1/2" w x 2 1/2" d. The shoulder strap height is 13 1/2" (measured from top of bag to where strap will rest on you shoulder).
I really like this bag, but I think I would like to make one that is a bit wider and, perhaps, not as tall. I guess I know what I will be working on tomorrow.

Hi:-)
ReplyDeleteI think,the bag's nice in the longer shape.It's very original form of the bag.Maybe rather for a tall woman,for whom it would be probably more convenient to carry.I like the lively colours-they are not very light,making the bag practical.I also like its volume-I bet-lots of very useful things can be confined in there.It's very beautiful,following Creation of Yours.

Lovely.... sometimes all you need is a smaller bag..... it's amazing how many fat quarters would fit in it!!

Totally cute. I actually like that shape of bag. I get so used to carrying my big ol' bag and when I go to a smaller one, I always tend to go that route.
ReplyDeleteLooks nice. I love the strips.
ReplyDeleteLove your bag. Great fabrics.
ReplyDeleteOh that is really darling - good job Talin!
ReplyDeleteI like it... I think you should call it the 'tall and skinny'. Really like how you use all those strips.... Very cool. Talk soon, ilia
ReplyDeleteI love this bag Talin, great idea!

Very cute bag Talin. Looks to me like you planned it from the start. Love your choice of scraps.
