One of the fabrics she liked was from the Snippets line by American Jane. I liked it too so I got the coordinating stripe for the lining.
Instead of the two larger (diaper and wipe) sized pockets she asked for a cell phone pocket. Luckily my husband has the same one, so I know it will fit!
She also opted for a zipper pocket. I used this tutorial at Sew, Mama, Sew. It's pretty good, but it always takes me a few times doing it to really get it right.
It has the cute floral on the inside of the pocket....oh! I forgot to get a picture of that, just a sec.....
there we go! cute, right? And did you notice the polka-dot key holder?
She also wanted the bag to be able to stand up on it's own. I think I achieved that!
I was a little worried until I figured out how to line it. I use Pellon's fusible Thermolam (thicker than their fusible fleece, and doesn't pucker if ironed with steam). I typically only put the interfacing on the lining of the bag. But I decided for more stability to line the outer fabric AND the lining. I'd say it stands up on it's own pretty well!
Two straps were requested instead of the one messenger style. I actually like this length. It hits right about the hip so you can tuck it under your arm while the straps hold it on your shoulder.
It's off to
P.S. There was a glitch with our Sew & Tell button over the long weekend. I have new code over there on my sidebar. If you are new - grab it if you'd like! If you've had our button up - you'll need to switch to this new code. Sorry for the trouble!

I am sad that I have nothing to share this week... I have not been able to even touch my sewing maching in the past week :( maybe today!!!
Great bag - I love that cheery fabric! So sad I ain't got nuttin' to show for a finish this week, although I have been busy piecing. I'm saving myself for a big finish next week!

I must agree, very cute bag. That's cool that your client wanted a few modifications, now that you know how to do them they make nice additions. I love the inside the pocket shot, very pretty touch. You are so talented!
love ya, Julie
What a lovely and happy bag; we could all need something that cheerful this time of the year!
I haven't been her ALL WEEK - I love your new header!! The bag is adorable, so bright and cheery! Hope you have a great weekend :)
I love your bag! I have always been afraid to try a zippered pocket like that. I'll have to check that out at Sew Mama Sew.
I posted a link for my Sew and Tell Friday. I'm also having a giveaway, so be sure to check it out!
Your bag has turned out fabulous! Great job! I 'm sure the recipient will love it! Will have to check out the zippered pocket tutorial.
Your bag turned out great! Love the fabric :-)
perfect, as usual. very lovely. sorry i didn't participate today. i have something, but no pictures and no time to post.
Congratulations on finishng the bag. It looks great. It feels so good to finish something and cross it off the list (actual or imaginary)
Great job on the bag Amy! Thanks for the tips on the interfacing, I never know for sure which one to use! I think I need to take an interfacing 101 course. I didn't know that's why it puckers!
Your purse is very nice, thank you for the tutorial. I think the zipper inside is a good idea, that is the part that looks challenging.
The bag is very cute! I love the stripes.
Thanks for doing this every week Amy, I just love seeing everyone's projects!
That is adorable!! I am sure she will LOVE it!
I love the inside zipper pocket. It looks so crisp.
I love your bag! It is darling. I finally got my Sew and Tell Friday project posted! Thanks for the encouragement.
