The first Serendipity Hip I wanted to make into a dog walking bag with a pocket for pulling out a plastic doodle bag. That worked out nicely. (I don't even have a dog though, lol). This bag has SOLD.
 |
| I had a small piece of this fabric with women walking dogs and so this was the perfect choice for this version of the Serendipity Hip bag. |
 |
| The back of the bag. |
 |
| Pretty floral for the lining. There are credit card slots sewn into this bag and a zippered pocket. |
 |
| From the outside looking down there is a slip pocket with a phone pocket inside. |
 |
| In front of the slip/phone pocket is a zippered pocket on the bag front too. This is the pocket where you would put the plastic doggie doodle bags and then pull one at a time out of the grommet hole I created as my change. |
 |
| The large grommet is where you would pull out the doggie doodle bags from. You can see the floral lining. |
 |
| I used a clear grommet. |
 |
| Zipper pulls for the zippered pocket and the main zipper closure on top.
Next I made another Serendipity Hip with a magnetic snap closure instead of a zippered closure. While I like this with a snap closure, I am not sure it looks as neat as I would like it to. Maybe it was my sewing that made the curved top a bit wonky? Still it came out cute. This bag has SOLD.

| The credit card slots inside the bag with a zippered pocket above. |
 |
| The slip pocket with the phone pocket. |
 |
| Back of the bag.
The last one I decided to make a straight top instead of the curved top. There are a lot of similar looking bags out there with straight tops, but I like all the pocket features inside and out of the Serendipity Hip much better than others I have seen. This bag has SOLD.

(All three of these bags have sold).

The first one is so cute. I love the whimsical feel of the prints. I looked at the pictures before reading about each bag. I felt the grommet added a cute touch, then I read it had a function! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice size for a crazycatlady!! Nice looking bags Daryl.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking bags, Daryl! I think I love the inside of the first one as much as the outside! LOL Really like the zipper lining and card slots!
ReplyDeleteThe dog walking bag is very clever. I love this bag and have made a few for my daughters.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kerry Jane. Since you are a no-reply, I couldn't respond by email.
DeleteI agree that the curved top bag has a fun look. I got really excited when I saw the grommet in the first one. I though to myself...whoohoo, a place to stick that wine spigot out of! LOL!! That would take a different kind of engineering the pattern! :-)
ReplyDeleteAll three bags are amazing. I love all the special touches you add to patterns. The dog-walking bag would make a perfect gift, well they all would but I don't think people expect something so functional to be this pretty.
ReplyDeleteLOVE all three of them Daryl and especially the doggie doodoo grommet hole LOL
ReplyDeleteThey are all great, but what I really love is adding the credit card holders! That grommet hole for the baggies-you had your thinking cap on there:)
ReplyDeletewow i love them all and i think its great that you did a sewing experiment. The grommet is a great idea along with the adorable fabric. They all have such a great shape did you use foam to interface them? i like the fabric in the last one the greens are very soothing. The curve is a nice touch in the middle one. i don't know if i would ever put credit cards loose in a bag even if there is a pocket for them they are always in my wallet so i'm not sure if you need credit card pockets. great job on all of them.
