From the moment I saw Debbie's tutorial for her triple zipper pouch I thought it would make a great cross-body bag if I made it in a bigger size.
So that's exactly what I did.
It measures 13" wide by 14" tall. I boxed the bottom to make it nice and roomy inside.
This is the biggest pocket. It will hold a lot and will be perfect for travel. I used a Denyse Schmidt fabric from JoAnn's for the lining.
I used Melody Miller's Ruby Star Shining panel and tried to make the typewriter a focal point on the front. I wish I would have place the typewriter just a bit higher.
I added a few random fabrics from my scrap bin and made a handle out of the Dottie scraps from the last quilt I made. I wasn't quite sure how to attach the handle, so I decided to place some loops in the side seams and then attach the handle with some leash clips.
Since the handle is removable, I can use it to pack things in for travel and keep it in my suitcase.

Great interpretation on the triple zip bag- you can put your triple zip pouch to the interior and you're good to go!
Love it!
Can you link to the tutorial?
This is what I thought after I made mine. I wanted a larger one with a strap. Can you make a tutorial?
Well done!
Very awesome! I love when an idea becomes a successful reality. The triple-zip did for me, and I'm so pleased the super-sized version did for you! It's really fun and SO practical and useful! Thanks much for joining in the Triple-Zip Along in your own special way!
Fabulous idea - I love that you can take the straps off and just use the pouch as is too!
what a great idea!
Great idea! Plus the size and removable strap make it very versatile. Thanks for sharing.
Fun, loving all the MM goodness!
That rocks!
Awesome bag. Very fun fabric. Love it!
Fantastic take on the triple zip! Your fabrics are spectacular too!
I think the typewriter's in the perfect spot! Love this bag.
What a great version! It's so perfect and very versatile! And I agree with Jenny, the typewriter is in the right spot!
Very clever and beautiful!!
I love cross body bags as they leave your hands free and that's great with a little one and I just feel safer when out and about. A great interpretation of the original and very cute.
Very clever, I love it, I was thinking I might make one of the original size for my little girl, and now I don't need to think about how to add the cross body strap, thx!
Clever girl!!! Great colours and I love the dotty strap.
That is so cute Diane! And I like your off set typewriter! My little girl would probably love the smaller size for her kindle.
Perfect! love it so much.
Love it! I realy like where the typewriter is. Awesome job!!
Totally brilliant!
what a fantastic idea, it looks wonderful.
What a neat bag and the detachable straps are perfect!
Thank you for providing the photo of it in use to get a handle on the scale. It is a nice size. And I love your trick of taking the pictures in the window to get natural light!
It's gorgeous and will, as you say, be brilliant for traveling.
I LOVE this! Do you sell your creations? You are quite the sewer!
What a great bag! So beautiful and just perfect!
