I bought some clearance fabric with girls covered in tattoos - and wasn't sure what to do with it. Decided to make a tote bag that shows off the fabric nicely. I had a full-colour version, and a sepia type version. I found some tutorials online for making bags and combined 4 or 5 different ones to get this simple shoulder bag.
I mostly used the coloured fabric, but put a pocket on the outside in the sepia (using the same part of the pattern so it looks in-theme), and made another pocket for the inside in the sepia:
I wanted a sturdy bag, so I added a lining (some thick cream coloured woven material I bought for cheap) and made the handles from that seatbelt kinda stuff (also easier and quicker than making it of the fabric... even if I'd had enough fabric to give it a go). Contruction was pretty tough with the lining as well (and putting the inside & outside parts together and making all of the corners match up), but good learning for me. And I'm stoked with the result and use it pretty much every time I leave the house:
