This lovely soft hobo bag was created from a grey woollen Winter skirt in a tweedy design. The appliqued bluebell is cut from scraps of blue twill and the leaf from a blanket.
It is lined with a softly patterned blue on white fabric that was originally a shirt. 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.
