I didn’t really intend this bag to be all black and white, but I love the fabrics! I know, who do I think I am, Mila from Project Runway? (hehehe, I wish)
| Practical Bag Pattern from Tanya Whelan Grand Revival Designs |
I love the simplicity of the bag, but yet it’s so stylish. I ended up reducing the size of the pattern down to 80% because I didn’t want it to be so big that I couldn’t find whatever I needed in a hurry.
I also added a magnetic snap and used canvas for interfacing to make it a little more substantial.
Now that I’ve been using it for a bit, I really love it. No more dives to the bottom of the bag to find stale cheerios or crumpled up receipts from four months ago! I definitely think I’m going to try the full size pattern and have that handy for trips to the pool this summer.
Love! Great fabrics…gonna have to try 🙂
You redecorated! Anywho, I love your new bag. That black and white fabric will go with anything. I have yet to make myself a bag. . .
I love the black and white bag. It will go with anything.

I love the bag, Mila … I mean, Anna. I think you’d win for best accessory!
cool bag, especially the size.
love the pattern & love the fabric!
I LOVE THIS BAG!
I love this bag! I’ve made four myself! It is so simple. All four were either made out of upholstry or tapestry fabric. I didn’t do a magnetic clasp though, that’s a great idea!
jeanette (your new BFF! LOL)
oh, that turned out so nice! I’ve made about 8 of these bags for me and friends! great for carrying around knitting! and I’ve got a couple requests!
I like to put some muslin between just to give it a bit more stability … thanks so much for sharing!

Lovely, Anna. I like the bag lines, and the black and white is striking.
Very pretty Anna! I like the black and white all over.
very stylin!
You can never go wrong with black and white. You new bag rocks!!
Awesome blog, Anna!
I bet you could make some really awesome cloth diapers. 😉
I love it! What fabric did you use? I’ve seen this bag before, but yours is the first I’ve seen that I really LOVE. Fabric choice makes such a huge difference!
I love this bag Anna! Looks like the perfect size to me – Purses that are too big drive me crazy! And you are right, I bet the full size one would be just perfect as a pool bag.
Very stylish for sure! I think the black and white makes it very sophisticated but still laid back. Know what I mean? 🙂
it looks great
It’s very cute Anna!
Beautiful. yay! You’re sharing it!
I’m glad I got to see it in person 🙂
I love the bag and the black and white looks great.:)
Love the bag! And the new look here is great!
That is VERY nice!! Love the easy style of that as well. I love black and white, can’t go wrong with that combo!
Super cute!
What a cute bag Anna! It has such a great shape.
Very cute. I’d love to hear about your method of resizing bag/purse patterns.
I think it is really cute!
I love that bag…reminds me of ones we carried in the 60’s made out of old jeans and lined with a funky patterned material ! love
Love it! It’s very chic.
I made a bag similar to this and my hubby calls it my Big Girls’ bikini halter:)
simple and elegant, nice 🙂
Simple and elegant is the way to go. Yay! Esther.
