Six-Pocket Ladybug Bag

While browsing Craft, Crafty, Craftier, a fantastic craft resource site, I found a pattern for a six-pocket bag. I like sewing, I like bags, and I like pockets, so I set about making a six-pocket bag of my own.
It turned out very well, especially since I haven’t sewed anything from a pattern in a long, long time. I love the three fabrics I picked out and how they all match together, as well as the six pockets on the outside, three on each side. I even added a little pocket on the inside of the bag (I told you I liked pockets). The batting I used to reinforce the sturdiness of the bag works very nicely, and it’s plenty roomy inside to stash my keys, phone, wallet, and all the other stuff I need to cart around from day to day.
I already have my next six-pocket bag in the works. I have my fabrics picked out (even if it did nearly kill me in the process to come up with three compatible fabrics that I liked), all I need is to sit down and start making it. I’m going to make my next one a little bigger than this ladybug one though, so I can use it during the school year to carry around my laptop, textbook, and notebooks!

That looks like a super cute bag! :D And I totally get your pocket love – I HATE having a bag that’s just one big empty space. I need organization! Pockets, pockets, pockets! :D
Ashley
Ooh, that’s crazy adorable! I’ll have to try that pattern myself, I really need something for my laptop this coming year since it’s required for every one of my upcoming classes.

Looks great! I might have to give that one a try as well once my sewing machine is repaired. A girl can never have enough bags, that’s what I always say. ;)
Regina
That is really cute! *sigh* If only I had the patience to sew… :P
Catherine
Oh, that is so cute! I need to get me one of them! :D
Trish
Ooo, it’s cute. I want it~!
Karin
That’s so very cute, I love the bag model. Yay for pockets! :D If I could sew I would totally make one for myself.
Kim
That’s really cute! I can’t sew or I’d try and make one myself… I love lots of pockets.
