Danielle Patchwork Cross Body Bag

I made the Danielle Mini Bag not long ago and wanted to try making the medium size Danielle (from Geta Grama), but decided to make it a cross body bag instead of a tote style. I also had some patchwork I had quilted when I was making another bag last year, but I made a goof and couldn't use it, so had to start that one all over again!😛I wanted to try and save the patchwork that was already quilted, so I made this bag. It turned out nice, but I would have aligned things better if I was starting the patchwork from scratch. At least I was able to rescue and use what I already had.

I like the look of the tote bag I think a bit better than making it a cross body style. Still it works fine. I made the back the same as the front with the same slip pocket as the front has.

Side view of the cross body strap riveted to the side.

Front slip pocket (and same on back).

Divided inside slip pocket, with a pen pocket and 2 sections of larger pockets

Magnetic snap closure and zipper pocket with vinyl overlay.

Peeking inside at both pockets. I love that lining fabric!

Bottom of bag. Normally the bottom is not a separate piece. I think it works better to follow the pattern and not add a separate bottom!

I want to make another of Geta's bags next. I bought her bag bundle a few years ago, so it's high time I make a bag or 2 or more. Next bag will have a gusset, which I prefer!
