Now she’s ready for vacation!
By cute2carry | July 16, 2008
My good friend Teri is heading out to the East Coast for a family vacation. She called me and told me about a bag she purchased for the trip, but it had some issues. It wasn’t big enough to carry her purse, personals, books and mags, and her laptop. She also didn’t like the exterior pockets because they didn’t close securely, nor did she care for how the zipper was placed at the top of the bag. It was kind of funky, too: the way the zipper was installed left just a very small opening at the top of the bag. Poor design in our opinion.
Her brilliant idea (heh heh) was for me to make a bag for her with her desired “tweaks”. What was even more brilliant was our “arrangement” –> I’d work on her bag all day today to get it done in time for her flight out of town, and she agreed to watch my kiddos for the day. We met up for an early dinner when I was done sewing and she loved the result!
The bag is a roomy 15 x 13.5 x 5 with a zippered top closure, and lots of secured velcro pockets. I just love the combinations of blues in these fabrics. The camel fabric I used for the trim and some of the interior gave it a bit of pop, too. Have a great vacation Teri! But hurry home soon!!
