Kennedy Bag

When I saw this free bag pattern online from Sara of Sew Sweetness, I knew I wanted to make the Kennedy Bag. I also knew I would making some changes to the pattern. Most of the changes I made was because I didn't care for a few of the design elements of the bag, so I added or subtracted a few things. Here is my version of the Kennedy bag:

I made this bag using 7 different black & white fabrics for the exterior.

I made one buckle accent down the center of the bag instead of the 2 buckles that was on the pattern. At first I was going to just sew the accent down the center and not add the buckle at all, but then I decided I liked the one buckle.

On the back of the bag I added a zippered pocket. The pattern has no pocket on the back of the bag at all..

I didn't use swivel hooks to attach the handle. I only used D-rings.

I did add one swivel hook on the side of the bag to hold my keys. I also didn't add any buckles on the side of the bag. I did sew an accent strip on but no buckle.

Here is how my keys clip onto the swivel hook.

I added a zipper pull that I made with beads, a charm and a small key ring.

I used a pink and white striped fabric with ladybugs for the lining fabric. I also made another zipper pull for the inside zipper pocket. As you can see I can fit a lot inside this bag. Lol!
