Slouch Bag

Sticking with my finishittus theme for Christmas, I finished this slouch bag for my sister Jill. I bought the fabric a few years ago, at my girlfriend's shop on POW island. I bought linining/strap fabric from her new shop in Cooper's Landing. The straps are long enough to wear the bag across your body, or to complement Jill's super tall stature. I added batting between the outer layer and lining and quilted just along the seams. I know people who have made these by the dozen and they seem to get more adventurous with each one, some with intricate quilting. It was a super simple bag to make, I substituted an ultrasuede bottom and made less gathering along the bottom.
