Like Abigail is an apt title for this girlie bag. It is constructed of mainly denim, made sturdy by fusible lining. It is made from pieces of my most favorite denim and blue velour-trimmed dress.The flap is made from a remnant embroidered border print with pink and green polka dot and lime green fabric trim.
The lime green fringed fabric is from a jacket from which I cut out the front pocket and sewed it on the front of the bag. It makes two usable pockets and I topped it off with a cute pink button.
I used pieces from two vintage tablecloths on the under flap, lining and straps. The gorgeous lacy piece under the flap is machine embroidered and bordered in pink ribbon.The double pocket in the lining is a hand embroidered piece from our Grandma Nikander and is topped in green print fabric with a lime green flower button.
The back of the bag has a pocket made from my dress, decorated with coordinating shell buttons.
I had fun making the straps using bits and pieces of all the fabrics.[Editor's note: This bag would be fabulous on women and girls of all ages - my 10 year old daughter carries a BFZ bag back and forth to school and the size is great on her; we just tied the straps shorter. See this post for photos.]

QUESTION?
Are the 'bottom' & 'sides' of this bag stitched like a regular messenger bag or is it constructed like a tote bag ie) 2 flat panels stitched on 3 sides with the corners sewn square. Thanks, hard to tell without a pic of bottom.
The bag has one seam across the bottom, not two. The side panels are separate though. So it's half tote and half messenger.
This is such a sweet bag!!!
JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I STILL WAS AHEAD FOR 45.00. :0)
