This large versatile grey denim hobo bag was created from a pair of charcoal jeans. The hand appliqued design features tendrils climbing up the seam surrounded by bright blooms in red and magenta - these were inspired by spiky clematis flowers.

It is lined with pretty vivid magenta/crimson fabric that began its life as a doona cover. The bag has a zip pocket on the back wall and a double slip pocket inside the front wall. It closes with a magnetic snap in a silver colour.

My hobo bags are quite big - about 35 cm x 28 cm, so they hold quite a lot.

The wide comfortable strap is long enough to wear the bag across your body, then it sits on your hip (it is 100cm). Alternatively, you could wear it on one shoulder if you prefer.

I have named this design ‘Sadie Jane’ after a school friend when I was young.
