Rome in the spring. I’m heading off on a solo adventure to look at art for a few days. I don’t usually carry a handbag and a back pack is asking for trouble. Rome is has many pick pockets, and I’m never going to look like a local. So I found this great channel on YouTube (via a bag that @Magpie made me) and I made this.
Firstly look at this fabric!!! I adore it so much, it’s been discontinued and the ever fabulous @AIMR tracked some down and sent it to me. I had just enough to make this. Inside is lined with a cute gnome fabric that my daughter bought for me. The orange bias binding is from London and has been in stash about 12 years.
I changed things up a little from the pattern, I didn’t want the zipper on the phone pocket (on the shoulder, with an eyelet for headphones) on the bottom, it made more sense on the top.
And I also added a small super secret zippered pocket hidden underneath for credit cards.
The whole thing is soft and light and will sit happily under a cardigan. It’s large enough for phone, e-reader, notebook, pens and a bottle of water.
Your fabulously funky bag is one of this week’s Featured Projects! Congratulations!
