Disney Shoulder Bag

A couple of months ago I made some bags with a new bag pattern I got at a local craft show and have recently tried the pattern out.  The pattern is by Melly and Me and is called Bella.  I've often struggled to follow patterns but this was so easy and would recommend a Melly and Me pattern to everyone, especially those who aren't fans of the traditional pattern.
Many moons ago I bought some fabric on Ebay that featured a very cool old style Disney pattern featuring Mickey, Minnie etc. on the beach!  I've been looking for a project to use this in for a while and thought it would make a fun and quirky bag.  The bag pattern needed 3 different but complimenting fabrics so I chose a plain blue cotton fabric for the main part of the bag, the Disney fabric for the top and pocket and finally some blue gingham for trimming and lining of the bag.  I think the fabrics work quite well...

...and this is the finished article...

 

I'm really pleased with how this turned out.  I particularly like the closure tab, it has a magnetic closure button sewn into it which fixes the bag closed.  It's the first time I've used one of these and was a bit tricky but I'm pleased with the finished look of the bag.
