After cutting a strap from a piece of blue leather...
...I machine stitch it into place.
Because the finished bag will be worn 'cross-body'...
...the strap is rather long.
The white lining...
...is designed to help make the bag's contents more visible.
The finished bag (closed)...
...and open.
A close-up view of the felted-in pencil roving, 'honeycombed' batts...
...and machine embellishment.
The finished bag is a generous size...
...approximately 13 x 15 inches (33cm x 38cm).
The project back...
...and the front with bas relief circles.
