Yay! I finally made a charlie bag! After seeing everyone else's and the how-to's on how to line the thing, I was so excited about making it! I was also really excited once I saw how big it actually was [It looks much smaller on the interweb].

So, I added a few pockets, a rather large one on the front, and a smaller one on the inside. I also lengthened the straps quite a bit [I like them better, easier to get inside the thing. :]]

The fabric that I chose though is very light and thin, so I decided to line it with something considerably sturdier. But, Wal-Mart doesn't seem to carry canvas or duckcloth, so I went with sturdy twill. It's 'sanded' so, it's softer than it usually is. :D

[And it's reversable! Oh happy day!] I just hope that the contrast between the dark blue and BRIGHT white wasn't a bad combination.
