Generally inspired by these bags and more, and modified from this tutorial. Had to make the bag bottom narrower because the watermelon fabrics from here came cut 2.5" wide, and I have no idea where to get magnetic clasps [because I've looked so hard] so I just used a button closure instead, from my mom's little tin of buttons from ten or twenty years ago. The body isn't quilted as much because I still don't really trust myself to sew in a straight line, not white thread on black fabric anyways. And then I quilted the strap to try to hide a little [big] mistake, but I really like the texture and if I do this bag again in the future [probably], maybe I'll just keep quilting the strap.
K: do you see where I started going off on black and white fabric?

how in the world do you sneak b&w into watermelon theme colored fabric?!?!
the "inspiration" bags are really cute... even the green one. I think it just has to do w/ great coloring matching.
no ... the black and white came from the inspiration bags and the way she matched her fabrics ... it creates a really nice effect.
i couldn't do ALL red and green for a watermelon bag, it would be too much ...
