Mini Daytripper - Front

I loved the Daytripper pattern but when Erin indicated she was working on a mini version, I wanted to make it so bad...and here it is. It took me a while to get started because I had to re-cut fabric. I liked this choice of fabric better than my original idea so it took me a while to get motivated and cut.

 

You can't really tell this is the mini by itself but trust me...it is!

 

I went for the adjustable straps just in case but I like the short straps too. Oh I love this bag so much! I don't know which one I like better. I wanted to show the larger Daytripper with the mini for comparison but my large Daytripper is extremely dirty from constant use. I am a bit embarrassed to show it.

 

This bag isn't as firm as my larger one but that is what I went for. I wanted it to be a tad bit more flexible so the only interfacing I used was the Pellon SF101 on the exterior. This fabric ravels like crazy if you're not careful so it helped keep the fibers in place.

 

Fabric: Upholstry fabric from Hancock Fabrics.

Interior: Red Cotton Duck (Joann's)

 

Mods:

-Used cotton webbing for the strap instead of making one using the fabric. I wanted to add a slightly different texture and contrast with the fabric.

-Top-stitched gusset to make it lay flatter.
