I recently made the
Dollie Mini Cross Body Bag by
Swoon Patterns (a free pattern). Well I wondered if I enlarged the pattern how it would work. So I enlarged it and added some slip pockets inside and side gusset pockets too. It came out nice, although the gusset pockets could have been larger at the top (with a snap or elastic perhaps). What do you think?

| Since I enlarged this bag, I decided to add a slip pocket inside against the front of the bag. |
 |
| I stitched a decorative stitch down the center of the strap, added a slip gusset pocket on both sides too. |

And another view of the 2 side-by-side.
Both of these have sold.

I would kill for a bag like this )))
ReplyDeleteI love both bags, especially your fabric choices for the larger one.
ReplyDeleteThat is so smart! How easy is it to slip hand to bottom of gusset pockets?
ReplyDeleteNicely done and I like your additional pockets. Looks like you are ready for July 4th celebrations.
ReplyDeleteyou can never go wrong with more pockets. great job and its fun to have the same bag in different sizes. I like how the colors make each other pop.

I love your red fabric with motifs against the denim blue. You really made a good job of increasing the various parts of the bag. I find the gusset pockets just fine as they are. The sides are slimmer that way.
ReplyDeleteAdorable bag Daryl!!! I love the variegated thread stitching details :*). Looks like a nice purse for a casual outing.
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome. I love the stitching detail and fabric on the bigger bag. Can never have enough pockets. Great job.
