Bombay Bag - 紙型

I've made three of these already because the fold-down top is such a clever touch, it works over the shoulder or upright depending on my mood. The 4" depth holds my planner and water bottle without bulging, which I didn't expect from a semi-slouch bag.

The fold-down top is my favorite part, it actually stays put when I wear it over my shoulder instead of flopping back up. The semi-slouch shape is spot on too, roomy enough for a notebook and water bottle without looking bulky.

I was worried 11 by 14 inches would feel too big for errands, but the semi-slouch structure makes it drape just right against my side. The 4-inch depth swallows my water bottle, wallet, and a paperback without bulging. Sewed it up in a weekend and it's already my default bag.
