bags are my bag baby

A few years ago I made bag for SeaBreeze.

It has been so well used that it no longer looks like this. The fabric is worn through in various spots and looking rather grubby.

So I was asked for a new bag "just like it". The original bag was improvised both in fabric choice and size and I didn't feel that I could re-produce the bag satisfactorily, so when Noodlehead published her new "Go Anywhere Bag" pattern last week, I thought it might produce a pleasing alternative.

Just like the original? No, but I hope its more sophisticated stylings will suit the new owner.
