I have made 3 Fiona's Freeway bags in the past, but this time I wanted to enlarge it a bit, so I made this one at 115%. I really like this size a lot and I love how this one turned out. After making this one, the wheels started churning in my head about other ideas for this bag too, so one day (hopefully soon) I will make another one in this size with some other changes. I love making bags and putting my own spin on them. Oh and this is a
ChrisW Design Bag. If you want to make one
check out the pdf here.
This enlarged Fiona measures approximately 10 3/8" wide x 11 1/2" high x 4" deep. I also made a matching Little Wallet to go with this bag too.
Exterior is batik cotton fabric paired with a purple cotton grunge fabric and interior is a hand dyed fabric.
|
The bag features a flap with an interesting shape. This one is the small flap. The pattern also includes a large flap and a non-grommet version as well. |
|
The strap tabs and the side accent add a nice touch to the bag too. |
|
While not called for in the pattern, I decided to add purse feet to the bottom of this bag, since it can stand up on its own and it helps to keep the bottom of the bag cleaner. |
|
This is how the back side of the bag looks. |
|
Flip up the flap and you see the drawstrings. |
|
Pull open the drawstrings and you have a lot of nice space inside. A slip pocket plus a zippered pocket too. |
|
I like to divide my slip pockets so they can hold a pen. The Little Wallet fits perfectly in the larger slip pocket section. |
|
The Little Wallet is included with my bags that I make (except my earlier bags I did not make wallets then). |
|
No more of the lining fabric left, so I used the purple grunge fabric and the batik only for this wallet. |
|
The front zip pocket is handy for your phone or keys. |
If you have any interest in purchasing this bag, please
email me. Cost of bag, including Little Wallet and shipping is
$85. I am putting it in my inventory for when I can sell it at a craft show, unless you want to buy it now. Thanks for looking.
As always this and everything I make is made with love in my smoke free, perfume free, pet free home. (I love pets, but don't have any now and because of allergies, I don't want others to suffer).
Handmade in New Mexico.

Beautiful fabric. This is one of my alltime favorite bags you make. I really like the flap and the detail on the sides with the tabs and the little brads(?-not sure what they are called!) Great job, as always!!
