Isn't this better than a fanny pack? It's about 6 x 8 inches - just big enough to carry a wallet, small camera and keys inside, and a map on the back. Could probably carry more if needed.
The main fabric is a Free Spirit print that I bought in Lancaster on one of my first trips. The little "patch" on the front is covering one of those happy design "accidents" - I wanted a velcro closure, and I wanted it to be secure. After I did all the sewing, it made the front look bad. So, I used some of the lining fabric to make a little patch to cover it. Cute, huh?
Here's the inside, with more of that lovely dragonfly fabric:
Finally, I made a super-long strap and a pocket on the back:
I'm betting this baby will get used quite a lot - it would be great for yard sales, or even a quilt show.
I'll post pics of the other bags later this week.

Those are quite cute - I've not made but one bag - a purse - so I shall have to try other bags.
love your bag....makes me think I need to make a bag like this for my trips to both quilt shows and disney world....
very cute! It's similar to a bag I designed specifically for my first trip to NYC... I named it the NYC hipster bag & wrote up the pattern! the one I made myself is wearing out I use it so much. Love yours
yep, your a 'bag lady'!!!
very cute bag at that!! have fun in NY!!
Great bag. It'll be perfect for your trip. I may need one like it. Yep, I'd say you're a bag lady....
I always pack a bag like this to carry while on vacation. I have one I bought years ago in Mexico, but I think it's time for me to update to something new. I like your addition of an outside pocket for a map.
