Here is my new trip-purse with a Southwest flavor.
I purchased the print from a Hancock Store that was going out of business last year, & it was just perfect for what I had in mind. After searching through bag patterns that I have collected, I selected this 6-Pocket Tote.
It is a free pattern at http://ftp.gotfabric.com/projects/0106tote.php .
I stayed fairly close to the instructions except for adding pockets on the inside, a few buttons & a velcro closure. My bag is constructed with heavy batting & machine quilting for extra strength. I also made straps instead of using webbing as the pattern suggests.
The turquoise pin is attached for a little extra color.
