Mood board

I want to combine white denim with eyelet together, also leave the edges of fabric be rough.

I made the pattern first

before make the big model, I made a small smaple

then make the actual size model

After making the model, I found some problems with my pattern, so I made some small changes.

1. Make the shoulder strap longer for 2 inches
2. Change the shape of the bottom of the bag

Here is my final model

The mini bag can be placed in different ways.

 

Then I place my pattern on the fabric, and cut them all, also mark some signs.

 

 

Then I practice place the zipper.

Here is my small sample of the mini bag.
