AONW - Market Bag

I couldn't disappoint...I've whipped up "Another One Night Wonder" (AONW) the night before heading off on a long weekend...ok...the wee hours of the morning before having to catch my flight.


I had some lovely vintage floral fabric, and I managed to pick up some not-so-bad coordinating fabric today at the thrifts.  I decided to try to make a funky market bag in cheery yellow.  


Here's my pattern sketch.

And the work in progress.

And the finished product.

What I'm really happy with:
- I'm very pleased with my finishing.  I tried my first French Seam where the two different fabrics of the bag are sewn together and I also covered the raw edges of the side seams with fabric scraps.  It looks really good on the inside, for a non-lined bag, if I do say so myself.  


What I might change:
- Possibly make it narrower next time.
- Make a 'stash bag' or add a cord to tie it up and tuck it away in my purse when I'm not using it.  I could always add that next week.  


Time to sign off...only 5 hours until I have to wake up & dash to the airport!  I'll take my new market bag with me on my trip to test it out.
