Sketching Sling Bag Completed

When I read through the instructions to complete this sling bag, I knew it would be a big project and I almost put it back into my studio cupboard for another time. I hesitated because I was looking for a challenge and I had all the materials purchased and ready to go. After about three week's work, it is finally done and I love it! It is not as big as I thought it would be but I learned a lot about how these bags are constructed. I had to put four zippers into it!  I made a few small errors along the way but really enjoyed the process and I love my fabric choices. It is perfect to carry some small sketch books in and pencils, small paint kit and any other items I need for a sketching outing. It has 5 pockets so I can even bring snacks.
