I bought a bag pattern from another blog. It's the Go Anywhere Bag. I saw the bag on a blog I read and loved it. I still love the pattern and can see myself using it repeatedly. I've already made 9 of them! The pattern was $8 so I've go my money's worth. I'm in the middle of another swap with the Itty bitty group on ravelry, E is for Elephants. Hence the jungle fabric. It was the only elephant fabric I could find to make a bag. Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, I bought enough to make 3 bags. I didn't know that at the time but just bought a couple of yards without a clear direction as to what kind of a bag I was going to make my swap partner until I saw this pattern. But the one in the photo above I'm saving for me, after I enter it in the fair next year.
I've had this beach fabric in my stash for a long time waiting for the right project. I found it. This was my second "beach bag" since my daughter absconded with the first. It's a good thing since the lining of that bag was from the sheets I had made for her changing table and then repurposed since the fabric was like new.

Another jungle bag, but for my swap partner. There is a third, just like this one but it's a surprise as to whom it's going to.
I found lining fabric that coordinated with the outside fabric. Again, bought both without a clear direction as to their use in my swap package until I found this pattern!
I've been collection dolphin and whale fabric in half yard increments because my younger daughter loves both and has them all over her room. So I dug them out and she now has a new knitting bag as well!
Instead of using piping on the pockets, I used a rope type trim. I used it on the first beach bag as well but couldn't find anymore.
I should have more projects done this week. There are several on the needles so maybe I won't be slacking in the blog posts~
