Bonnie Bucket Bag (Friday Foto Fun #181)
I made this awesome Bonnie Bucket Bag by Swoon Patterns last Saturday for June's Bag Day!
I used upholstery fabric and vinyl for the exterior of the bag with normal quilting cotton for the interior. The pattern is written for all quilting cotton. In hindsight, I think the vinyl is a bit thick for the pocket welt in the front of the bag. It may not have been so thick if it was a thinner vinyl, but I think overall it still turned out pretty!
The top of the bag has a recessed zipper. I always questioned why you needed it, but if you hang the bag by the strap without the zipper closed the bag really turns into a bucket! Who knew!? The interior does not have a slip pocket nor a zipper pocket, so it makes the bag a pretty quick finish!

Love that bag! I had a good week with finishes I can only share sneak peeks of and even started a new pattern test.
That’s a fun bag and the welt pocket looks mighty good in the leather! Congrats on another great finish.
Well done. It looks great.
