What a sweet purse.

My latest creation....I call this one the Watermelon Bag!  It just reminds me so much of spring.  And I am ready for it!

Sold!

Just in time for spring!

I call this one the "watermelon bag". Green and white hobo bag is made with 100% cotton home decor fabric and lined with a pink cotton fabric. It's made with fleece batting to give the bag structure and protect your items.

I added a magnet snap to the front closure for security and handtacked the pretty white flowers to the front.

There's an inside pocket trimmed with more green and white fabric. Bag measures 14 1/2" by 9 1/2" and faux leather strap reaches 13 1/2" from the top of the bag. This is a good one to sling over your shoulder

How I assembled the bag:

Here, the front and the back of the bag have been sewn together, with the fleece sandwich between the layers.  I've also added the bottom part of the magnetic snap.

You can see how the darts in front and back line up nicely. 

This is the closure.  On the outside you can see the fusible fleece that lends this bag its structure.

Now curves are clipped around.  This reduces bulk and helps everything to lie smoothly.

The front and the back of the closure, right side out.  I've added the top part of the magnetic snap and pressed everything carefully.

The closure is basted to the top of the bag.  You can see I've already added the strap at this point.

Here's the lining with the pocket stitched in place.  Both sides of the linings will be stitched together, then sewn to the outside of the bag.

And the finished product!
