Pictures! Finally!

I've mentioned a couple of times that I had lost my camera-computer cord and haven't been able to download pictures since Thanksgiving.

Kathi D was nice enough to give me a holler and told me to get a zippy little digital converter drive, and I mentioned this to Hans as he left to go to the electronics store.

Kathi, I have no idea how you did it, but that's what Hans came home with. Why he listened to you; I have no idea because he never listens to me!!

So, see the bag on the right? The one hanging off the shoulder of the pretty blond? That's the purse I saw when we were in Toronto and I just had to have it. You can't really see the color but it's pink.




Here's a closer look. Since I hadn't downloaded my pictures I never went back for a better look so I missed a couple of details.

I forgot about the tab that ran down the side, and even though I did make an adjustable strap, I didn't add the silver rectangle on the opposite side.

I couldn't find pink fabric so mine is gray.






Once again I used Nicole's, Day Bag Pattern, which really has a lot of great options. I've made several of these.


Here is mine as seen from above with the zipper closed.

















Here's the inside complete with a paw print lining. There's a patch pocket in there too but it gets a little lost in the busy print.



















The front flap.

Here you can see the adjustable strap. I miscalculated the length and even though I thought it was going to be very long, it wasn't. At its longest it fits me just right.


I have to make another one for Vet Tech Girl's friend and she wants hers to be very long! So I learned a good lesson.





We're going out to a party tonight and I since I'm going to carry it, I'll have Hans take a picture.



I'm very happy with my bag except I'm afraid it's going to look dirty really fast. It's a gray, fake suede and I'm not sure of how to clean it.



















I also finally got some pictures of Duncan in the coat I made for him and I'll post those tomorrow. Although I warn you, neither the coat nor the pictures are much to write home about!

Nice bag! Hey, don't you know The Husband Rule is that they listen to anybody BUT the wife? Sheesh. Glad he got your thingy!

That looks really nice. I always see things I like, but I wish I had the skills to actually recreate them.

Kathi, I'm glad too! I've been downloading like a crazy lady!!1
Schwang, I have no skills so I'm sure you could sew anything you want!
