A big bag

February 23, 2026

I have been on a bag making spree lately. I don’t really have any recipients for these bags, and am mostly just making them in case I actually end up selling them. Mostly I’m just trying out some patterns and ideas.

This one is based off a picture I saw on Pinterest with the front design, only in my own method. This is a bronze leather, with a thinner leather with a reptile pattern stamped on it.

This is large. The design itself is 12″ diameter.

As this was so large, I made it into a backpack option.

The inside has a few sections, with a bottle holder, a sleeve for notebooks, an ipad, etc. and then a zipper pocket on the other side. I also put in a clip for keys.

The top has a zipper in it.

I think I need to take a bag making break now. I have some apparel sewing I want to get done now.

I love to hear comments! Sometimes comments hit my spam, so be patient. I will find it! xoxo
