Japanese Crafting with Mari: Monk's Bag
When I travel, I am always looking for the perfect travel bag. I like to have a bag that has a shoulder strap long enough to go across my chest, but with a wide strap for comfort. After years of trying to find one, I finally decided to make one! My husband and I took a trip to Japan 2 years ago, and I made a modified monk’s bag with some upholstery weight fabric. It worked like a charm!
I’ve been waiting to make a tutorial for this bag, and when I saw the new Echino prints and solids we received a couple of weeks ago, I knew these fabrics would be perfect. The solids coordinate perfectly with the new line of prints, and the bright but sophisticated colors create a unique bag you’d be happy to travel with.
