I had the pleasure of testing
The Gracie Bag recently. Designed by Sammy Valencia of
Shamballa Bags. Sammy is a newer designer and she sells her pdf patterns in both English and French versions.
Right away I knew I wanted to use some Frida Kahlo fabric for the front panel. It fit perfectly. I really love this bag! In fact I made 2 Frida versions of Gracie.
Here are my Gracie Bags, Frida Kahlo style!
 |
| Gracie has a zippered closure and I added a stacked button on the zipper tab for fun. |
 |
| This is the back of Gracie. She has a pretty back, yes? |
 |
| The zippered closure with a handmade charm. |
 |
| Gracie is nice and roomy inside. See all the stuff she can hold. Plus there is a zippered pocket and a slip pocket too. |
Next is Grace #2, another Frida on the front panel:
 |
| I made the top accent a different color on this Gracie and used a different Frida. |
 |
| On the back of this one I added the accent and the tabs in the accent color. |
 |
| A zippered pocket and a slip pocket inside. This one I didn't have a long enough zipper, so I added a magnetic snap closure and it is just as nice. |
 |
| I should have dropped the snap down a bit more. Still it works well and I have been using this bag lately and love it. |
 |
| I added the accent to the bottom of this one, mainly because I ran out of the other light fabric, lol! |
