Vinyl Mesh Bag

I have finished my vinyl mesh bag and love it. I chose to use some Kaffe Fasset fabric on the front and a plain orange inside (so I can see what's in my pockets) and I used a purple vinyl mesh. This bag was very easy to sew and I will make more I am sure. It is light and yet holds everything really well.

These shots clearly show all parts of the bag. It has 3 pockets on each side both inside and out. I like to sling my handbags over my shoulder rather than hold them so I added a longer handle, this could have been made from the same fabric if I had wanted. It was really easy to put the zip into as well. Do call in and check it out. The vinyl mesh comes in lots of wonderful colours, so plenty of choice.
