\"Colorful<\/a>
Bag front<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Having finished three quilts recently, I took a little break and made a bag. This one is called “On the Go” and is another fantastic design from ByAnnie<\/a>. I did “edit” it a tiny bit, making it 1″ deeper so it could accommodate my sunglasses or what have you. I don’t generally use a small purse, but I do like to use something smaller when traveling, and this should do the trick quite nicely, I think.<\/p>\n

\"Small<\/a>
Bag back<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The fabrics are all by Tula Pink — like so many other people, I find many of her fabrics to be wonderfully fun. The bag measures about 6″ wide by 8″ tall and 4″ deep when empty. It has a deep zippered pocket on the front flap, another deep pocket on the back, a small ID pocket under the flap, and three credit-card-sized pockets inside the roomy (and zippered!) main compartment. The strap is adjustable, so the bag can be used as a shoulder bag, a cross-body bag, or even a waist bag.<\/p>\n

That little piece of lavender fabric in front of the bag is what I used for the lining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
