I've added a couple new pictures to show the totally finished bag. I love it and am excited to take it to the temple!
The finished bag! I made a flower to put on the recommend pocket. I think it adds a little pizazz!
Another view of the flower
I found these cool sew on magnetic purse snaps at the purse depot.
And I made a covered button with some of the leftover fabric to go on the pockets and flap.
Totally finished inside view. I changed the zipper. Just didn't like the white one. Went to Mesa Sales and bought the length I needed. So much easier to open and not worry about buttons to finish closing it.
This is the finished bag on the inside. You fold it up so the pockets are on the inside. I put my shoes in the bottom pocket. It also has another pocket in there too where I put my comb and Kleenex and cough drops and gum.
And this is what the outside looks like. I put my recommend pocket there and made it big enough to hold family name cards if I ever get any to do!
Here is is all folded up with my stuff in it too! There is a flap that folds over from the back to the front to keep them together. I'm waiting to get some magnetic purse snaps to put on all my flaps to keep them secure. And I'm going to make a little fabric flower to put on the recommend pocket to add a little dazzle!
See how easy this is to carry! This is how I carried my old bag which I usually tucked under my arm cuz it hurts my hand to carry by the hanger. This is so much better! I love it! Can't wait to use it!
