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.
Gah! Those fabrics are awesome. The shape is perfect for adventuring.
The hidden gnomes send this from an awesome project to an absolutely amazing one!
Your fabulously funky bag is one of this week’s Featured Projects! Congratulations!
