Ever since I got the delivery of my fabric printed @ Spoonflower, on linen-cotton canvas, I wanted to create a new bag for me. I ordered only 1 fat quarter to check the colours, the repeat scale and other details and so my options were a bit limited and I really needed a large bag, so that I can carry even the books or lap top or other bigger things. I wanted it to be in the landscape-horizontal size option, rather than classical messenger bag with the larger size in vertical.

So, after thinking and thinking, the best solution was to rotate the fabric in a rather wrong way, to use that fat quarter entirely for both sides.:) I used the gorgeous Echino stripe fabric for the flap and handles,( the same fabric that I used 2 years ago for creating this coat) and I wanted it to have both hand handles and one bigger shoulder handle that I love most.
Oh, and that cute little fish button is made with the Heather Ross fish fabric to add a bit of whimsy to the top:)
I am more than happy how this bag turned out. I was even thinking of trying to write the tutorial, so maybe you can expect one soon:)
Happy Mother's Day to all my American friends- wish you a wonderful day:),

Torba je odlicna! Bilo bi super da napravis tutorial. Da li je ovo jedini dezen po tvojim crtezima? I ako nije postoji li sansa da ih doneses na nase trziste i u radnju sa tvojim modelima? :)
Katarina! Your fabric is absolutely stunning! It is one of a kind and totally gorgeous. I hope to see more of it in the near future! The bag is super lovely! You are amazing, girl!
Happy Mother's Day,

where to begin? let's start with the fabric--oh my! i am positively SWOONING over here...i can't believe you designed that beautiful stuff. and then the bag, with its perfect piping and darling little fishy button and gorgeous design...you are oozing talent, my dear. incredible.
I WANT a bag like that!!! :)
Will it be possible to buy one similar to that one...? A tutorial won't do much good for me as I am not the sewing type.
Thank you all so much for your kindest comments:)))
Gola, I e-mailed you, hope you got it:)
It will be available soon(the time I get my fabric printed as pattern:)
It must've been sent some place else... :( Šmrc.
