This large soft hobo bag was created from a textured women's skirt in woven pastel creamy neutral colours. The appliqued flowers are pieces of calico coloured cotton & the leaves were cut from a pastel coloured blanket. Each flower is centred with a vintage mother-of-pearl button.
It is lined with pale creamy self-striped satiny fabric that I believe is curtain fabric (found in an op shop). 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 antique brass colour.
My hobo bags are quite big - about 35 cm x 28 cm, so they hold a lot.
The 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.
