Handmade Jane Roe

For Sale: Sunshine in a bag that says fun, fun, fun!

This is one of my favourite patterns to make. Personally, I love the large size, versatility of use and the comfortable broad straps. The handles are not that long which means you have the bag tucked under the arm. Living in a pickpocket city I appreciate the extra sense of security.

The bag outer is 100% quality cotton with complimenting yellow lining fabric. The construction is sturdy, but not completely stiff. It has a magnetic snap closure, and on the inside a zippered packet and two slip pockets for phone and what-nots.

The orange embellishment is removable and can be worn as a broach or a hair accessory.

Measurements:
Arm opening: 22 cm
Length from embellishment to bottom of bag:34.5cm
Width at base of the bag:33cm
Width at the widest part of the bag:43cm.
Bottom - Rectangular flat base 33cm x 15.5cm

Please allow small variance due to manual measuring.

Upcycled Art Bag. An artist friend wanted a utility bag to lug around her art supplies on her bicycle trips to the countryside. She needed her seating pad, large sketch pad, two separately secured bottles of water (one for drinking and one for water painting), an array of paint brushes and paints and little zippered pockets for small valuables. This is what we came up with.
