Another sewing class; another bag.

This one was not quite as easy to make as my usual straightforward bags, but I like how it turned out and I’ve learned a few new things. These handles stitched onto the side of the bag hide the stitching of the outside pocket.

 

This was a different way to add handles to a bag, but as you can see in the next photo …

it also has D-rings sewn into the sides for clipping on a longer strap if I want to carry the bag over my shoulder.

Inside the bag, I have a pocket for my phone and my keys, or whatever else I want to have handy so it doesn’t get lost in the depths of the bag.

The zipper is one of those that you buy by the meter and cut to the length you need. You just have to be careful not to lose the zipper pull before you get the zipper sewn into the bag.

Now I’m ready for a short trip where I only need to travel light. Not sure where I want to go when the best place is home, but who knows? I may think of something.
