My DIL wishes for her Birthday money for a new saxophone. Because I dont like to give only money, I decided to make her a matching bag for things to take to music school. The bag has no embroidery but the bird and the keyfob.

In the 2. picture you can see the bag opened, in the first the bag is folded and with the frontbag flap closed.
Now I have only to make the card to put the money in, the giftbag is finished too.
The black bag is 35x45 cm.

Die Falttasche ist super geworden, hast du den Musiknoten-Stoff laminiert? die Geschenktüte sieht super aus, ich hoffe du kommst damit nicht in den Regen - tolle Geschenke! :-))

Danke, Maria. Der Stoff ist nicht laminiert, die Tasche soll sich ja möglichst klein zusammenlegen lassen und der schwarze Stoff ist ein derber Outdoorstoff.

Thank you.... Now let me see how much of my college German class stayed with me after all these years!

sjbrower by sjbrower 07 Sep 2015

Looks like you did yours a little differently... your pocket flap is loose and wraps around to snaps on the pocket. I like that better. Thanks for sharing your work and the video with us. --Sharon

elemausi by elemausi 07 Sep 2015

I thougt with the loose flap it would be better. I added a stabilizer to the loose part to be straight if the bag is opened.

I'm going to give this a try. Thanks for your help and inspiration! --Sharon
