Two Bonds - Each showing a way in which brick courses can become something more.
The Flemish Bond Bag seems like a regression in the amount of handles, but it is intentional, as the bag itself is a retroactive exterior twin to one of the earlier Herringbone bag variants opting for a red color palette to contrast the earlier’s blue-green. There are details across the bag I wished to highlight, with one of my favorites being that the side pockets align the pattern of the main exterior fabric almost seamlessly. On both bags in this entry I was pleasantly surprised when constructing the interior panels, because they aligned with the middle runner to continue the brick pattern around the entire vessel. The Flemish Bond, as shown is a brick course of alternating short and long bricks, creating a pleasant deviation from the constant size of the (Fa)Bricks.
