I made a bag! All by myself!! with tricky parts! So excited that my new On-the-go bag is done and every part is as they should be.
Check it out! It has an adjustable strap...
Concealed top zipper...
Perfect for day trips, fits a Lonely Planet book, a wallet and a phone comfortably, even the Kindle as well.
A small bottle of water too...
Ideal for iPad as well...
I wanted a bag to take on an upcoming trip to New Zealand in mid November but I couldn't find one pattern with all the features I wanted so I thought I would modify an existing one which also proved to be more difficult than originally thought so I decided to have a go at making my own.
Using Lisa Lam's The Bag Making Bible as reference, I started to build it bit by bit. It's been such a fun experience and I learned so much!
I am planning to write down how I did this step by step so I can make more. I really like this size but I will make the inside pockets bigger and perhaps learn to make a zipped pocket on the outside...
Ah, yes I am already thinking about the next one - a sure sign that I really enjoyed this experience - woohoos!
