Confession time

I've got a confession to make. When I was in Canberra for SIT I nearly bought a bag at the markets. I went back and looked at it a couple of times but then a few of the girls convinced me I should make my own. Then I spied Karen's bag and decided I should make one myself and I am so happy I did.

I used the Large Satchel and Tote bag from Nikki, I got some leatherette from the Remnant Warehouse and teamed it with one of my favorite fabrics the typewriters from Melody Miller. I lined it with a green I had in my stash. I didn't put a pocket in it because I find I don't use them, I've got a little zippered pouch I keep personal things in.

I used webbing for the strap and silver d-rings and adjustable slide that I got from Nikki ages ago. I'm really happy with it and the pattern was great and easy to follow. I would probably use a heavier interfacing next time as the leatherette is a lot floppier than I would have like it. I've also found some other fabrics I'd like to use for the flap so I might make another one, although the man of the house has already asked why I needed another new bag.
