Heavy-Duty Book Bag

My pal Peggy is a book seller’s dream.  I don’t know how many book clubs she belongs to, but it takes a serious bag to carry her books around.

I decided to make a super sturdy, reinforced bag with “bones” for Peggy to wag those books around.  I bonded a striped cotton to canvas, but with nylon straps sandwiched inside.

I also lined the bag with a plain cotton lining.  It wasn’t easy, but I resisted the temptation to put in zippered pockets and all the bells and whistles that I love to incorporate.

It’s a simple, heavy-duty bag designed to handle all the books that Peggy can throw at it!
