Hobo style bag

[sopo]

I started this...well, we won't say when.. and then it got pushed to the bag burner and all but forgotten about. I am horrible about going back to something once I lay it down. Anyway, I finished it up and lined it with one of hubby's tshirts. I used the sleeves to make two pockets.

 

I modified the strap to make it a hobo or messenger type bag. It's made of cotton in a variegated, solid blue and ecru rotating rounds of each. If I remade it, i would probably do it just variegated for easiness but it did create a cool look.

I like this... I am looking for a good pattern for my daughter. She would like me to make her a small purse/bag for school - but it has to match her uniform. I like this style you did. Thanks for sharing.

Not sure if I took a picture of it but here is another purse I did with a tshirt lining. No pockets on this one though. On the blue purse, I cut the sleeves of the tshirt and sewed them on 3 sides (hem up for pocket opening) to the lining before sewing it together.

OMG! This bag is beyond awesome; well worth the wait.

 

I absolutely adore how you used the changing yarns to create the design. Simply spectacular.

Awesome! Love the bag. I've used tshirts for lining, I think its a much better lining so you have stretch with the bag.
