Croatia Futbol Inspired Bag

My wonderful friend is from Croatia and happens to be amazing at soccer and is a soccer fanatic. For her birthday, I wanted to make her something unique, yet functional and wanted it to be far from girly. My inspiration was the Croatia Futbol team jersey.


No way was I going to find red/white checkered fabric so I got busy making some. The bag is a very simple tote with handles and a pocket inside. 



I mailed the bag this week despite that her birthday was like three weeks ago. I can't WAIT for her to get it!

Hope you had a very festive -- middle of the week -- Fourth of July!
xoxo
