I made the straps two-toned. So fun! (They are 28" long.)
 |
| My random free motion quilting |
Bonus: Geta's pattern is so unique... This bag can have many "looks!" Geta provides superb instructions, diagrams and photos that also show how to create a Bon Voyage bag with a hexagon front! These bags were made for Geta's sisters, who all traveled to Paris together . Aren't they gorgeous with hexagons and the exquisite quilting?!!

So, how much can a Bon Voyage bag hold?
 |
| This is a big bag! Along side a 24 inch ruler |
 |
| There's an exterior zippered pocket on the back side! |
 |
| There are four big slip pockets inside |
 |
| I began by placing a curling iron in the bottom... |
 |
| On top of the curling iron, I put a large beach towel... |
 |
| How will the Bon Voyage Bag handle- 4 pairs of gym socks, 4 polo shirts, a button down shirt, and a pair of shorts? |
 |
| No sweat? It's all in there!! |
 |
| There's still space in the exterior zipper pocket yet! |
 |
| My mother would've stuffed A LOT more in this still! |
There's time for you to make The Bon Voyage bag, and have a totally stylish and practical gift for holiday giving.
Stop by soon to see another pattern that Geta designed for her sisters and their trip! You will love it!
