Book Bag with Elastic Closure
At the beginning of 2017 I made this book bag for my Mum. It is lined and has an elastic closure. I also gave her a book inside it. Shown below empty, and then front and back containing the book. The trickiest part was deciding how long to make the elastic so that it would hold it closed nicely but also accomodate different sized books without damaging them. It would also be nice if you could get different coloured elastic, but you can't at any of the stores here. It's made from nice Japanese printed cotton with a slight texture on the surface, and I think lined with pink linen.
