Ok...so the title of the post doesn't quite reflect the actual bag but it was a bag for carrying the dinosaurs that my son got from his Aunty and Uncle. The fabric was some safari fabric that just looked too gorgeous not to buy from my favourite fabric shop, Hometown, Rochester. I originally tried to follow a pattern from another blogger that cut the entire outside fabric in one go but thankfully I realised in time that it would not work with fabric that had a particular direction. See the pattern below that I originally made out.
I then reworked it to allow for seam allowances with directional fabric. I also decided to make the bag a bit bigger than the original pattern - this proved to be a bit of a mistake as the bag ended up floppy with quite a large opening.
The batting was attached to the lining which was a plain fabric.
To improve on this bag I would probably put a base in it next time. Despite my reservations about it my boy loves it :)
