I made this Arabesque Bag (from Sew Sweetness) in Purples-Pinks-Aqua batik fabric a while ago and it sold at the last craft show I did in November. I do love making these bags as I can add all my own touches and changes.
This is the original size (I have made some at 80% and 90% too).

| I quilted this in wavy lines. I added rivets to the strap too. |

| A charm for the zipper closure. |
 |
| The back of the bag I am now adding a zippered pocket to all my Arabesque bags in all 3 sizes I make them in. This bag really needed an exterior pocket, but I hated to cover up all that beautiful batik patchwork and quilting on the front or the back of the bag, so decided a zippered pocket works best as it only shows a bit without covering anything. If I ever get around to making this bag in one fabric, I can add slip pockets outside too, but I am having too much fun making this bag in patchwork strips, lol! |

| Side depth. |

| Isn't this interior fabric so fun? Purses, shoes, sunglasses, lipsticks, hats and more...all the things a woman needs. |

| Other side of bag. |
I will continue to make Arabesque bags in all 3 sizes and all kind of colors and sell them at craft shows and in my Etsy shop too. I love choosing the fabric colors for these bags and putting them together. It satisfies the quilter as well as the bag maker in me, lol!!!

These are definitely MY colors, Daryl!! Love this bag. You do such a great job on bags. I have made a few, but need to get back and do some more!
