Yes it is orange... not very good light today with it being cloudy and rainy.  The fabric reminds me of lava.

That is great, Triss!  Hopefully she will buy it and spread the word.  Maybe you can make a little extra cash making them!

Good luck! Though I don't think you need it, that is a great bag!
Dear Lord, On this day, please wrap your arm around my shoulder and keep your hand over my mouth.  Amen

Thanks.  I started work on my bag today.  The one I am using now is too small and the handle is too short.  It also has no pockets which I really need.  I ran out of thread though.

I need one pocket for my phone and one for my smokes... so I used two back pockets...

This is the side of my new bag... more greens, my favorite color...


And the pocket which will be on the inside...  there will be a pocket on the other side as well.

I think it will be great Tina.  I love these bags because they are so forgiving... one does not have to be exact because once it frays, it hides all of the imperfections.

oh gosh.  ok.  handles that i can put it on my shoulder, but it doesn't drag the floor if it slides down my arm.

2-3 outside pockets.  for keys, chapstick,  checkbook, note pad.  my current purse has the perfect outside pockets but the inside sucks.

inside would be one zipper pocket for the things i don't want to lose if it tips, my pocket knife, tweezers, nail clipers, etc.  then other, random sized pockets inside to organized.  but not an "organized" bag.  if that makes sense.  the best bag i ever had was one of those quilted jobs that was popular a while back.  had pockets on each end (just right for the cell phone) and a patch pocket on the front and back (perfect for the other stuff i mentioned).  then, inside, there were a total of 6 pockets, but they were really just one big pocket that was divided when the handles were sewn on.  the only thing it didn't have was a flat bottom (one thing i like about your jean bags).  but the way the pockets inside were made, it didn't need a zipper for the inside pockets.  i can take a picture of it if you want.  i still have it, frayed handles and all.  oh, and it has to be washable.  i am hard on them :giggle:  the only other thing i'd say is that i carry a bigger bag than i would other wise because i carry 4 pill bottles with me at all times.  2 are pills that can't be put in a pill box (labeling legalities) and 2 that i prefer to keep in the original bottle because i don't take them often and would forget what they were.  then, there is my camera, brush, wallet, etc.

and, i love the multi color of your current bag in the works.  would match everything i own!

Yes, a picture would be great.  Sounds like a great bag.  What dimensions would be the best for the length, width, handles?

I like the colors on this bag. Very colorful without being overly bright. You do nice work on all your projects. Is there anything you can't make?

Your bag looks great so far, Triss.  I'm sure it will be just as beautiful as the rest!

That was a rhetorical question, as I'm sure anything you tried to make would turn out perfect. You have talent and an eye for color.

Very cute. I made Jonni one of those a few years ago and then she made a few of her own. But she is into bigger (more expensive) purses these days.

I am sure Lys will get into those more expensive ones as well but for now these make her very happy.  She said she was going to use it to hold her phone and chapstick on days she wears her capri's with no pockets.

She is one smart cookie... She tried getting rid of a pair of pants the other day cuz it didn't have pockets and she carries stuff around all of the time...  this pocket purse will help that.
