This bag was made as a knockoff of a Vera Bradley bag that I wanted badly. But then I thought I could make it myself and it would probably be better. So here it is. It's Nicole Mallalieu's Baguette but I changed a couple of things.
- I fused the thicker version of fusible fleece onto the flap and quilted it
- Moved the zipper pocket over and added a chapstick pocket
- Changed the way the zipper pocket is made - ie I have no raw edges or wrong sides showing inside the pocket
- Made the strap very thin and long enough to go over my body, not just hang from the shoulder
I'm very happy with the result. Here's a pic of the lining inside which actually isn't finished..I still have a little hand sewing to do. I've put my chapstick in the pocket so you can see it.
And a close-up of the quilting.
While I was taking these photos, a friend of mine came into my sewing room from the cat run. I had to laugh when I saw her.

Cute bag, and is she getting ready to do that handstitching for you :)
Cute bag! You have done a great job on it.
Don't you love how cats know they are beautiful, even when they have a piece of grass dangling from their mouth!
How pretty. I love the bag too.
