Just finished this bag last night for Li Li, who lives in Singapore. It was the least I could do after she sent me so much good stuff, including this amazing little book. I have to say, I'm very pleased with how this bag turned out. Originally, I was thinking of doing a knitted bottom portion, like this one Cassie made, but I don't knit, so when I found this fluffy fleece I just took a chance with it. The striped fabric is actually a (new) woven dishtowel. It's padded and the inside is lined with cotton chenille from a vintage bedspread. A simple applique, mother-of-pearl button, numbers twill-tape, and my "label" add some finishing touches. All the different elements add an interesting textural quality. I love the over-all effect. I used Velcro strips for the flap closure. Now off to wrap and ship this package..with a few *surprises* added, since I sort of let the cat out of the bag here.

Oh the goodies pictured here! Its so nice that you are feeling better now. Your purses are pretty and very special. I love your 'Turkey Feathers' label. That is a classy touch and so professional looking. The little jumper with all the buttons is adorable. Life is more fun some days than others but always we walk on thankful ground, don't we.
