Cappuccino II Bags

I recently tested the Cappuccino II cross body bag from Lisa of Around the Bobbin. The bag went together quickly and the results are a great looking bag. I love how the bottom of the bag is sewn and it fits perfectly! After making the first bag, I knew I wanted to make another one where I could do an artsy flap. I am using the artsy flap bag for me. I will be making lots more of these bags.

Lisa's instructions are excellent and she has lots of diagrams too. This pattern has a choice of 2 flaps, I made the shorter flap on both of my bags. I actually made the first bag in a day. There are 2 kinds of interfacing used, but no fleece or foam. I hadn't made a bag without fleece or foam and I love how it feels. I did use fleece on the decorative stitched flap, but not in the body. While this bag may look like a lot of other bag patterns out there, the construction of the bottom is what makes this one stand out better than others I have made. The only thing I changed was instead of making 2 interior slip pockets, I made one slip pocket and one zippered pocket. I also added some rivets on the strap. The bag measures approximately 9" high x 11" wide x 3 1/2" deep.

Here are the two Cappuccino II's I made~

This print has a touch of metallic gold in it. The brown body and strap is cotton fabric.

There is a slip pocket under the flap on the front.

Back of the bag.

The front slip pocket. The bag closes with a magnetic snap as you can see.

Inside I added a slip pocket with a divided pen pocket on one side of the pocket and a zippered pocket, even though the instructions are for 2 slip pockets. The inside also has a top band (the brown fabric).

Zippered inside pocket.

Cappuccino Bag II with a decorative stitched flap~

I used decorative machine stitches, rickrack, and I added French knots by hand. I also added buttons and crystals for some added bling.

You can see the crystals up close and the French knots.
