After seeing the Savannah bag that I made smaller for myself, my daughter wanted me to make her one too. She has always liked the messenger/lap top style bags for carrying round the things she needs. She wanted me to use this batik fabric with the palm trees that I had. Then I showed her some other batiks and hand dyed fabric that I had that I thought would work well with it and she was fine with those choices. So here it is: (this is a Chris W. Design design bag)

| The front of the bag. |
 |
| I used a hand dyed fabric for the lining that I dyed a couple of years ago. |
 |
| Looking inside the bag there are 3 pockets. |
 |
| Side view. Above the gusset pocket I added a hook for her to hook her keys to. |
 |
| Zipper pull I made with beads and a charm that says it all. The green batik here looks like an Army green, which is not the true color. |
 |
| I took some photos inside because you can see the green color how it really looks. |

Pin It Now!
What a cute bag ! You're right the zipper pull says it all. Your hand dyed fabric is most impressive. I've never made any bags, but admire them. I'm waiting on fusible fleece to arrive so I can start the Tammy bag.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bag you made for your daughter.
ReplyDeleteBet she liked it!!
Smart with key ring, and the closing of the front. I might copy that. :-)
I love your fabric choices for the bag. Great job.

ReplyDeleteGreat job Daryl! Cute zipper pull...I've been fiddling with making zipper pulls myself lately too....I saw some of those "made with love" zipper charms on ebay and was thinking of getting them....now that I saw how great they look on a pull, I might do just that! LOLL I also found some cute looking owls that will make a cute pull and have ordered those....LOL Amazing what you can find on ebay BUT Ohhhh what a TIME eater it is too!
