Day Thirty Four, Bag Thirty Four

Shield Print Scarf Bag Small

This is a handbag sized version of the Shield Print Scarf Tote. It is sized the same as the Moonlight Masquerade and the Chartreuse Peacock bags. This one features the variation of hot pink for the accent fabric. It is lined in pink with a pink scarf and pink straps. The base is still in black to minimize the appearance of dirt from normal wear. 



I have been tweaking this style a bit so the loops for the scarf are positioned in a new place, they are not locked in to the top seam, now they are set 1/2" from the top of the bag. The flap is more elongated to fit more easily over the scarf, and the straps are set a Little wider to the outside of the bag. 


The straps are 20" long so they are generously sized for a small handbag, this will fit over your shoulder.



I used a heavier interfacing for the flap closure and also used the canvas weight for both the topside and the underside, this makes the flap closure stronger and it will not pull or tear during use. 



For the last picture you can see the large interior pocket, it is sized almost exactly the height and width of the bag so there is plenty of room in it and I double stitched the seam around the pocket for extra strength.  

This bag is 7" tall, 3" deep at the base, 11" long at the base, and 9" across when fully closed up by the scarf on top. The bag can also be used with the scarf loosened to open up the top or removed altogether for a different look.
