just last week i finished this bag. with a few modifications, it could be the perfect slouchy bag i've been looking for.
i used this pattern. it's quite simple, but the directions could be a bit confusing if you're a beginner. a step or two is missing. i pretty much disregarded the directions and sewed it as i have many other bags.
all the fabrics are from Michelle D'Amore's line, Hippie Chicks, for Marcus Brothers, 2009. it's a little brighter than i've been using lately, but i was able to use up some yardage from previous projects. and i do love the flower chain on the front pocket.
the bag is fully reversible, giving you a pocket inside and out. you could seriously fit a grocery bag of items in the bag!
today fall is in the air after a long, hot summer. ah, bliss. there's nothing i like better than throwing the windows wide open to the air, sky and sun.
peace out!

Welcome back to this space :)
What do you use in your bags again that makes them so thick? I really love that about the bag you made me, very, very durable.
Hi, Stephanie!
I'm having to learn Blogger all over again. I love the new templates they offer!
I machine baste a canvas such as a cotton duck to all the pieces, including one side of the pocket, prior to constructing the bag itself, usually for the exterior only. If I want it super durable, I'll line exterior and interior.
Thanks for the warm welcome. See you soon!

Love that bag, it's so cheerful! Good to see you back.
I love the way your blog is looking! Maybe it is time for a redo of mine... I am so happy to see one of your sewing projects again, and I am ecstatic that you are going to be sewing again, too. I have missed visiting this little space.
The bag is wonderful! I love the fabrics you used-they are so happy and cheerful. I used canvas for lining for the diaper bag I made, but then I forgot about that technique completely. I will have to try it again!
