The Weekender Travel Bag

I have seen this bag on various blogs and really liked it!

My daughter will soon be an interior design graduate and needs a large bag to carry her supplies.

This bag would be perfect for her :)

The pattern is a little difficult, but I am sure I can tackle it.

I have a "Weekender Bag" board on Pinterest.

Most of the bags are very bright and colorful.

Vanessa wanted fabric that was more subdued and professional looking.  This is the fabric for the outside of the bag.

It was difficult to get the true colors when we ordered online.

I'm not really sure about the chevron.

I don't think it matches very well but I'm hoping it will look nice together when the bag is sewn together.

Do you think I should try to get a piece that matches better?

This is the fabric and cording for the piping.

Again, the color wasn't true online!

This fabric will be lining, I think it's very rich looking.

These are the rest of the supplies and notions that I will be using when making the bag.  There are two types of interfacing used although I only have one in the photo.  One is very stiff and the other is a soft, woven interfacing.

I would love to have your suggestions concerning the fabric.

I don't think the chevron matches but I would like some validation.

Thanks for following my blog!
