Finally finished the second bag. It was slightly easier this time, as I had a better idea of what I wanted the finished bag to look like, and what I wanted it for.
Construction is easier than the first one, as I now get all the fiddly bits done - bag straps, key strap, strap holders, magnetic snaps. Also, the middle pocket made and zips assembled, before the final seams are sewn. In this case, I made the straps and strap holders from lining fabric as my machine refused the four layers of faux suede. I'll try again with the strap, but the holders and key strap will stay as they are.
Everything went together really well, although I did turn the lining in a bit more when I did the final seam, so that it would fit more neatly.
As you can see there is plenty of room to carry my sunglasses, phone, lippy, keys, notebook and pen and a small change purse.
Time to order more zips etc for the rest of the Christmas Bags.
