This is the Ethel Tote, a
free pattern by Swoon. It is easy to make and a roomy bag. It calls for using a foam stabilizer like
Soft and Stable, which allows the bag to stand up on it's own. No flopping or drooping!
 |
| There is a divided pocket on the front of the bag. Nice place to put your phone in one pocket and your keys in the other pocket for easy access. |
 |
| The side as you can see has some depth to the bag. |
 |
| View from the other side. |
 |
| The bag closes with a magnetic snap. There is a divided pocket on one side of the interior. |
 |
| I added a zippered pocket on the other side of the interior. So there are 5 pockets total on this bag. |

Oooo, pretty! I love the shape of this!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty bag! The leather tag you sewed on is a nice additional touch to all the other wonderful features!
ReplyDeleteI am “Swooniing” over this BLUEtiful purse. I have not ever used the soft and stable foam yet I like the structure it gives to the bag. I really like your personalized leather tags. <3
ReplyDeleteEthel is a beauty - I love her shape :) The zipper pouch you added is a good touch - very secure for safety :)
ReplyDeleteThe foam stabiliser makes such a difference to add structure. I've only used it once, and very happy with the result. A great looking bag, Daryl.
ReplyDeletelove this bag, the fabric is fantastic and works perfectly. the shape of the bag is very appealing as well. I appreciate the zipper pouch as well. Great job I am sure this bag will be very popular and aren't we all lucky that its a free pattern too.
