The Giraffe Print Bag ~ love it!
I found this great fabric the other day - it’s a medium weight linen. Oh how I love linen 
It makes the perfect tote bag, grocery bag, purse, anything!! Makes things super heavy duty and is pretty easy to work with.
So, yesterday, I got the itch to make a bag out of my new fabric. I have 2 prints I thought would look great together, one is a giraffe print and one is a scroll type print. Both are chocolate brown and cream (one of my favorite color combos!)
First I made my handles out the scroll fabric, sewed those up and then decided to make a 7 pocket purse. 6 pockets on the outside and 1 cell phone pocket on the inside. I used the giraffe print for the outside pockets and the scroll print for everything else. I then used some leftover fleece for the batting, pinned it all together and sewed away.
I then made a matching wallet out of the giraffe print. It has 2 compartments on the inside for storing money and such. I used a little interfacing in the wallet to make it a little more sturdy.
This is one of those bags I don’t want to part with, but what’s the point in having 20 different purses, huh? So this one is going in my Etsy Store. Please check it out!
