How’s this for a different look to start my post?
So adorable, right?! 💕 This is Waffles, and she belongs to Courtney and her boyfriend. I took that photo on the day they brought her home, because I was lucky enough that they stopped by our place on the way (at my request). She’s just the sweetest little thing! She’s a Cavapoo - a cross between a Cavalier Spaniel and a Poodle. She seems to have gotten more of the cava part and not so much poo, because it appears her hair isn’t going to be very curly.
Then I got the idea that her “parents” (their word, not mine!🥴) need a dog-walking bag to carry all the necessities. Since I’d made a Monarch Mini Crossbody Bag before (see it here) and enjoyed that, I decided to make another. Courtney chose the fabrics, and here is the completed bag:
I think she made great choices, and I love how it turned out! It can be used as a crossbody bag or, as shown below, the strap can be attached to the triangle rings on the back to be made into a waist bag.
The mesh pocket holds a small water bottle, and the pocket on the other end holds a roll of poop bags that can be fed through to access one at a time.
I happened to have zippers that matched perfectly…
… and even the lining fabric from Jess’s Typography fabric line matched nicely. (And I remembered my label - yay!)
Here’s Miss C and the “baby”, modeling the bag. I wonder if she gets carried more or walks more. Ha! She’s not very heavy to carry. She’d almost fit inside the bag! ☺️
The pattern, by Dog Under My Desk, can be purchased here.
