Plumeria Shoulder Bag!

by poweredbyquilting · December 8, 2020

This past Saturday on Twitch, I used Love & Kisses fabric to make this super cute (and way bigger than I imagined) Plumeria Shoulder Bag!

The Love & Kisses Blog Tour is still happening now, check out the schedule to visit all the awesome bloggers in this tour!

The Plumeria bag has a zipper enclosure on top and it was constructed similarly to a recessed zipper. The bottom of the bag has these cute little bag feet that I got from Luxe Hardware!

The front of the bag has a zipper pocket in the front that has credit card slots and a smaller zipper pocket for coins.

There is also a slip pocket in the front between the zipper pocket and the main body of the bag. It's held together with a small magnetic snap.

The interior of the bag has a zipper pocket where the bag was turned. I think if I were to make this bag again, I might consider adding a slip pocket on the front lining, but I'm not sure if it's necessary with all of the other pockets.

Bag Details:

Pattern: Plumeria Shoulder Bag by Bagstock Designs
Fabric: Love & Kisses from Island Batik
Cork: Mint or Seafoam from Fabric Funhouse (I have both and I forget which one is which, they are pretty similar in color)
Hardware: Luxe Hardware and more!
Thread: 40wt Aurifil in 2520 and 2835

Have you made bags out of batiks before? This was my first time and it turned out beautifully!
