Driving home from work this afternoon I was thinking about my Barbados Bag. It worked really well over the suitcase handle
And will be great filled with drink, sunnies, book and towel for a walk to the beach, but may be a bit big for shopping or travelling
It so happens I just *may* be travelling tomorrow too - on a girly trip to Gibraltar, which was really why I was thinking about the suitability of my big bag . . . so I planned a new, smaller, version, and no one was home when I got in - so I made it!
Same fabric
Same inner pockets, same zip pocket and my usual purse clip and secret slip pocket,
And almost the same outer pockets - but can you see the blue zip at the bottom of this pic?
It closes to make an outer pocket . . . or unzips to open so the bag will stand on my case
So I'm ready for some autumn sun this weekend, as well as ready for my January holiday (did I mention I'm going to Barbados?)
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
Enjoy your trip this weekend and trying out your bag!
ReplyDeletehave a lovely time the bag is ideal for a girly weekend
ReplyDeleteI love both these bags, with their great fabric that is all matched so nicely. I'm filing that bottom ziper idea away to steal someday. You know, like if I ever go to Barbadoes... Have fun on your weekend!

ReplyDeleteThat bottom zipper item was brillant! May have to to that someday when I make me a travel bag.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a good time in Gibraltar. Your zippy pocket at the bottom of your bag is a really clever idea :)
