I made a chalkbag!

sewing.
I had a spasm of sewing over the last few days, and made myself a chalkbag.
There are various patterns for chalkbags online (e.g. this one and this one), but they're generally simple cylinders.
I wanted to see if I could steal an idea from my commercially-made chalkbag (a flat back and a curved front panel), while adding in some other design features I wanted (zipped pockets for locker keys, espresso money and mid-day medz).
And then I found a remnant of silvery-grey fake fur in a department store for £2, and it was ON.
