These were a made up design, though inspired by some I saw online. I cut round the pockets, leaving a little more than a seam allowance, and then cut a flap piece which was slightly less wide than the pockets. I cut the linings using these as a template, and simply stitched them up. Having recently mastered the button hole tool on my new sewing machine, I rummaged through my collection of buttons till I found those which pleased me and matched the bags, and simply added them. The strap is made from thick piping cord (which was too thick for the purpose I originally bought it for!) and the result is, I think, very pleasing. I have since made further variations on the theme, which will appear here in due course.
