The last one

This will be the last bag for awhile. I made all the adjustments and I'm 90% happy with it, I'd change just one thing. This is the front of the sewing case.
The back.

I went a bit over the top but I like that sort of excess sometimes. The ribbon on the handle is a favourite part, it's very girlie.
 I wanted to make the lid sit right back so that one could work out of the bag without having to open the lid each time something was needed out of it.
 Another change was the pocket in the lid which is now a zippered one so that stuff doesn't fall out.
I'm back to quilty things now that I'm all bagged out for awhile, it was nice to have some finishes for a change.
I hope all our friends that copped Hurricane Irene are safe and well and not too many are doing without power. My thoughts are with you.
Janet

    Janet!

    Hurricane Irene was quite a punch but thankfully everyone I know is okay, few are without power but doing well.
    Thanks for your well wishes!

    Your bags are just wonderful! Very happy and bright.
    My son goes to school in Upper Manhatten, and he called last night to say everything was fine in his neighborhood. The power didn't even go out. His main inconvienence was not having the subways running.

    Isn't it a great feeling when you have mastered something for your own use, the next one is always a little bit better, Like the way you put the zipper on the pocket on the lid . I have seen pockets placed on the side , I thought the pocket had been put on wrong until I used it and thought that's a neat idea.
