Open view. I put two pockets in the bag- one on the front and one on the inside. The inside pocket was made by rolling the edges of a scrap of denim and sewing them down. The upper hem was made from a scrap of fabric, all four sides turned in as well. Instant bias tape! Conversely, the outer pocket was made by sewing scraps of denim, interfacing and cloth together. There was supposed to be a matching upper hem made from denim, but due to a mistake in the sewing process, there wasn't enough time to make one.
