Reduced Jade Bag

I reduced the size of the Jade Bag (from Moments by) so that it now measures 11" wide x 9 1/2" high x 3 1/2" deep. The original size measures 12" wide x 10 1/2" high x 4 1/2" deep.

The pretty Hawaiian hibiscus print is a batik fabric. I added a back zippered pocket because I felt this bag really needed an outer pocket. Inside has both a divided slip pocket as well as a zippered pocket. The strap is 2 fabrics which adds interest. It is a shoulder bag so the strap is fixed, but could easily be made with an adjustable strap. The first Jade I made I did make with an adjustable strap.

Zippered closure is recessed.

Slip pocket with several divisions and the back pockets are slightly dimensional.

Jade Bag

I made this Jade Bag a few months ago. I am so behind in blog posting! The Jade is a free pattern by Liz of Moments Designs. I made this Jade with an adjustable strap, rather than a fixed strap since I am selling this bag and I don't like straps to be too short or too long for someone.  I prefer making them adjustable so the person purchasing the bag can decide how long she wants the strap and if she likes wearing it on her shoulder or across her body. I also used fleece instead of the suggested foam for making this bag. It is a surprising roomy bag.

View from the other side,

Inside are a few slip pockets and a zippered pocket too.

A homemade zipper pull.

The front slip pockets are pleated giving you more space for items and the pockets behind them are regular slip pockets.
