Project:  A Paris Traveler's Bag -     Phillies Style:

Paris Traveler's Bag Details:

Pattern:   Paris Traveler's Bag    by  JoAnna at Fig Tree Quilts  ( avail here )
Size:    approx. 23" x 15" x 9 "  
Zipper:   24 "
Interfacings used:   Pellon FF 987   and Pellon SF 101

Early in the summer, my friend commissioned a Paris Traveler's bag.  And she asked if I could make it in a Philadelphia  Phillies style .  Luckily, I had  some  knit jersey  pajamas (the red Phillies fabric) in my stash!  I carefully cut up the pajamas to make it sewable for the accents.
The blue cotton  blender fabric became the main outer color for the bag.

 I added SF 101 Fusible interfacing to all of the knit material, for extra reinforcement. The handles were  made  with  the 2 different fabrics, to give some more  red pop to the bag.   I also added an extra outer pocket, because we all can use some extra storage space!

Here's a closer look at one  outer pocket....

And this is the top of the bag, with the long zipper!

This is the inside of the bag.... It can hold a lot!!

I was happy how the bag turned out, and hope that the gal who gets it will enjoy using it!
