This bag is from my TNT Kwik Sew 2036 pattern. It was quick to sew up as I did not add my typical lining and I omitted the inside zippered pocket. Looks like I will have to make one for myself. This was from a 1-3/4 yard home dec remnant...enough to make two bags. I created a stiff insert to give the bag a flat bottom. I measured inside of the bottom of the bag. The measurement came out to about 13-1/2" x 5-1/2". I used Darice stiff plastic canvas (perforated) from Joann's and cut to size. I covered it in a plain lightweight home dec fabric in a light color...it will be easy to find things at the bottom of the bag.
I am happy to be modeling the finished bag. I love the fabric design as well as the durability. I hope my SIL will enjoy the bag. This will be a great bag to carry some books, magazines, a sweater, a bottle of water, etc. Times when you need to throw things into the bag and go.

That's a really pretty bag.
I like the bag and I love the fabric!
Looks great!
Great bag, Susan! I love the idea of covering the plastic canvas at the bottom. I was just leaving mine uncovered but that is just an unacceptable interior look. Covering it makes it looks much more professional.
Ladies...thank you for the kind compliments. Kat...I used to stick the bare plastic canvas between the fabric and lining. Couldn't get away with it this time. :)
