I'm headed to Dallas on Friday for my best friend's bachelorette party so I decided to make a new bag. With all the new regulations/fees on checked baggage, I need to make the most of my carry-ons! This is a Simplicity pattern. I think the pattern instructions could use some work so I made a few modifications. I really love this big Garden Party print for the outside! I didn't have enough of the Anna Maria Horner print for the undersides of the straps, so I used my lining fabric. I wimped out and didn't put a zippered pocket in. This had more to do with my reluctance to cut any more fabric than dealing with a zipper. I have a super easy method to install large zippered pockets into almost any bag pattern. Maybe I'll do a post on that. I wish I would have made a second one to give my friend *doh*! Coulda, shoulda, woulda!

Like your bag......have a good trip....
That print is perfect for your bag. And I love that big ol' button!
If you aren't busy all weekend, let me know and we can meet up! (we are hosting a party at our house Saturday night, but other than that (and preparing for it), I think my schedule is basically free. Oh, and there's a relatively big quilt show this weekend too. Doubting that the party girls will want to go to that. ;)
Have fun and safe travels!
This turned out so cute! That fabric is perfect for a purse! And I love that giant button!
