Owl bag experiments. Bonnetgirl mentioned that she was going to use the owl mug rug design as a pocket on a bag. This suggestion challenged me to try to make the design applique the pocket directly onto the bag. Here are the results - the brown bag has an open topped pocket and the black bag has a concealed zip in its pocket.

Love them and the concealed my favorite don't loose things as easy. But both ways have great use.

I like all three but adding the zipper is like frosting on a cupcake

Very clever! I can see how the second owl lended itself to a zipper. You must have had to add a little fabric to insert it. Did you use a heavier stabilizer to the owl to keep him a little stiffer?

The fabric above the zip is double and forms a little flap to hide the zip. I used the same denim as the bag to line the bottom part of the pocket to give it more body.

Love em! Waiting..going on 3 weeks..for my 4 yr old Diamond Viking to have the motor, transformer & something else to be replaced! I think the parts must be on a slow boat from China! Can't do these until I can use my large hoops! I, again, say "Viking machines aren't what they used to be." But hope to post some owls soon!

The zippered one gave me the idea to make it like a zippered bag and stitch around leaving the top open. Then you have a zippered area and an open pocket. Two for One.

Both ideas are great. I just like lots of pockets. lol
I had wondered about using the zipped owl purse design I started with as a pocket like you describe, but I thought I might add a loose one for inside!
