Evolution Of A Bag

It started with this bag.
Made from Ikea uphostery fabric. Simple flat bag. I gave it to myself, remember?

I added a pocket, boxed corners and a top zip. Plus, it got longer.

Now......

Jazzed up the pocket, used darts instead of boxy corners and played around with the lining.

I have used this retro flower power canvas print to make 2 bags before and after making this bag, I still have leftover fabric!!

April MAAD countdown. 5 out of 15. 10 more bags to make in 16 days! I can do it!!

    the middle bag is my favourite - I am obsessed with stripes and the very trendy nautical theme as of late
