Introducting Stella Swoon - A Weekender Travel Bag

The last few days I have been trying out a new (to me) pattern.  A weekender bag  by Swoon Patterns. Thank goodness for the people on the facebook site because I had a few questions on this one thats for sure.

Another lucky thing about the facebook page is that they have a link for a tutorial.  It goes step by step through the instructions.

So heres how it goes.

One side of the bag.  There is a matching slip pocket that might be a little hard to see.
The other outside.  A zipper pocket that goes behind the black box-like pockets
This is the top and the base and on either side there are more pockets. 


The carry handles.  There is also a shoulder strap that needs to be added but would you beleive it, I didnt have the right size hardware for it.


The end product. Black, red, white, grey ready for a weekend away.





Even the liningh has two pockets.  A zipper one and a slot pocket,

This bag has heaps of pockets.  And a bag with lots of pockets is a great bag.  I love pockets. All up Stella would have taken about 4 days (from cutting the fabric, ironing interfacing, sewing and putting the whole lot together.).  It is certainly an interesting bag to make.
