Mama's airplane bag

My mother was getting inspired by all the bag-making, and requested a bag that didn't exist. It needed to be fully zippered; made out of the purple fabric I used for the Bag That Sparked The Blog; and be just a shade smaller than her leather 'mama-bag', whilst simultaneously being big enough for all the essentials one wants when travelling short haul on a plane (wallet, keys, passport, toiletries, post-security check water bottle, paperback, etc, etc.). The bag handles also needed to be long enough to comfortably sling over her shoulder.
Tadaaaa!!! One mama-airplane-bag!!! By this time, I had gotten so excited about being able to make zippered pockets that fade magically (well...) into the fabric, that I decided to put an external zippered pocket on this bag. This time in a different colour than the big bag zip. Whoohoo! This pocket is still big enough for, say, a wallet, keys, and phone.
Top side view. Top zip was a bit bigger than the width of the bag, so I put a tab on the end which can easily be tucked into the bag.See? The side pocket fits a whole big fat wallet!! And then the all-important interior shot. Big enough for paperback (I can really recommend Ted Hughes' Tales from Ovid, by the way) and proper sized water bottle, and extra-large (ie. extra 2.5 cm) inside pocket. Zippered, naturellement.

Result: one happy mother. Toch?
