This terrific Melly and me pattern has been on my “to-make” list for a few months.  Now it’s finished just in time for summer!

The fabrics are all from the Summer in the City range by Urban Chicks for Moda.

It’s made pretty much as per the pattern, although it has a layer of Pellon as well as interfacing throughout. 

This is the first internal zipped pocket I’ve done like this – thanks to a great tutorial on the Sew Mama Sew blog.  There is an internal patch pocket on the other side but you can’t really see it in this photo.

And there is the ubiquitous key fob!

I included a base made from fast-to-fuse, but possibly cut it a little too wide.  This bag can hold a fair amount, so the structured base will help to support its shape.  As usual, there are things that I will do differently the next time I make up this pattern.  Anyway, I’ll be keeping this first go for myself!
