Travel Bag for DIL

My DIL's birthday is next week and she and my son do travel a lot. So, I made her a big travel bag. She loves Vera Bradley style bags, so I think she'll like it and use it. This one is Simplicity #2274, with some strap modifications.

Fun, expandable zippered side pockets.

Inside lining and covered seams (similar to quilt binding...).

You are a marvel at making these types of projects (zippers, and handles, and pockets..oh my!). This is fantastic and she will love it if she's a VB fan..well done!

Great carry on bag! Very polished - love the details. She should love it if she likes Vera Bradley. If not, then send it my way lol!

Fabulous Weekender Duffel! Fantastic in every aspect - Love the fabric choices, the sharp, clean, perfection of stitching - just beautiful! Great job - I'm sure your DIL will love it

I'm always inspired by your projects/posts - thanks for sharing this one.
