The first weekend in October is the start of the annual
Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, (that runs for 9 days), so I love to make some purses and other bags with hot air balloon fabric. This is the Serendipity Hip (
ChrisW Designs) with a straight top. It seems I sell the straight top versions better than the curved top Serendipity Hip, so that is why I make them like this. I love both looks.
The Serendipity Hip is a great little bag loaded with pockets galore and has a zipper closure to keep it all secure.

| And some credit card and cash pocket too, so you don't even need a separate wallet! |
I will be taking this bag to a craft show I am doing in October.
Update: This bag just
sold.
