PPC35: DragonFly Dance
So... in our last post, I told you that we we were pretty-well satisfied with this design as it stands right now. I do want to take the Bottle Pouch height down, just a tad, but other than that & some other minor picky-icky stuff, we're pretty much ready to roll now!
And here's a couple of shots of the aforementioned Bottle Pouch. At left it's empty, but at right it's housing a full-sized AquaFina water bottle. In our last post, this pouch pretty much swallowed this bottle whole, but I'm much happier with the sizing now! 🙂
I couldn't help but include a closeup of this cord-stop area. This is the first time I've used this particular notion and I really like it! It's easy to install and adds such a FUN, and unique look to this bag!
I'm really pumped about this feature with its Cord Lock! Our customers have been asking us for a Bottle Pouch feature for years now, and I really like the way this one looks! It's functional, but still very distinctive and stylish... don't you think?
I love this shot! And I think it shows that this bag can ALSO be carried as a flat-out "shoulder bag", in addition to a "sling bag" and as a "backpack".
And here's a couple of shots at the Bag Back.
(at left)- This photo features a generously sized slip pocket which can accommodate even the largest smart phone on the market.
(at right)_ this photo shows the versatility of the zippered strap, which can be utilied as a sling strap as well as a backpack strap simply by zipping it closed or unzipping it open!
And since you've been asking for interior shots, I tried hard to provide that this time!
(at left)- this is a shot of the expansive main compartment
(at right)- this is a shot of the back slip pocket where I decided to place a credit card holder this time. (this CC Holder can also be installed instead or in addition to inside the front slip pocket).
I loved this fabric from the moment I saw it. It's a very large print but I felt that this design was large enough to carry it off, and it WAS!
It's called "Dragonfly Dance" & Sue Penn designed it for Free Spirit Fabrics. And if you like it like I did, you can get some for yourself on our website, HERE!
And now.... it's YOUR turn!
