I put this together real quick for a friend’s birthday who likes the colour purple. I wanted the zipper to be perfect and I’m very happy with the end result. The bag is made of interfaced (iron-on) cotton twill and a lovely deep purple patterned wool. The bottom is boxed and the lining is upcycled from some old (washed) pyjamas.

This could have a strap a function as a little handbag as well but perhaps my friend doesn’t want to walk around announcing her name to everyone!
