Designing a Bag: Part II


Every once in a while, I am inspired by great fabrics such as these:


 I LOVE the neutral oversized chevron and fish scale prints.  The bright pink and orange colors remind me of summer and eating sherbet. The color of the chevron is the exact color of a wet sandy beach. With these fabrics one cannot help but create something with them! It is so tempting to add a touch of sparkle on it somewhere, perhaps the strap?

I'm thinking, what kind of bag would I want to be carrying while eating ice cream on a beach in the summer? Two bags come to mind: a zippered tote and a slouchy hobo with a really short strap. Here is what I came up with for the tote:


Now I am off to work on the Hobo bag!
