When planning and then going on an overseas holiday, it's the perfect excuse to make a new handbag! And it's also the perfect reason to use some wonderful textured European house print fabric.
For the flap and sides, I used vinyl for contrast. A bit of playing around with the pattern layout and I managed to get the houses all with their roofs up when the flap is open. I also love that this pattern allowed for an adjustable strap so that the bag can be worn cross body or from one shoulder.
A handy zippered pocket on the outside is great for keys and train tickets.
Not to mention, lots of useful pockets on the inside. One zippered and the others for phone, pens and tissues.
This bag was a wonderful asset while I was travelling and now that I've been back home for a few weeks, I am still using it because it is such a good size and seems to fit me well.
Just gotta love a really good hand-bag!
Pattern used: Sydney Satchel by Monica Poole.
