This pretty lace dyed Hoffman batik fabric I purchased
on a trip with my sister to Lancaster, PA a few years ago.

This bag pattern I purchased at the quilt show in March.

A paper grocery bag,
some rings, interfacing and hair canvas.
What a bag with no pockets??
I'm a little purse -snickety
a girl needs pockets for a cell phone
and other necessities.
I customized it with an inside pocket and
added the front pocket with a
little splash of color and piping.

My new summer bag.
Close up view of haphazard stitching on fabric
holding rings. The instructions say
to sew it like this honestly.
Close up view of the other side
ring and strap after it's attached to bag.
It's time to empty out my older purse.
I am contemplating making this bag in some modern
prints think bold florals, polka dots or paisley.
What do you think?
Have a creative day!!

Great bag! I think you should go with polka dots for the next one!
That's such a cool bag. I love the lacy fabric, I haven't seen it before just right for a summer bag. Enjoy using it - Hugs Nat

Pretty bag! It looks like a great size too, especially for summer. I like the inside pockets you added, which are a must!

Great bag, I love it Kim. I love that lace like fabric..
That is stunning! Glad you added pockets, there simply MUST be pockets. I think this would look good no matter what you made it in!
Enjoy your awesome bag!
I love that bag pattern and the fabric you chose to use with it is wonderful! Great additions too - all those pockets. We love pockets and you're right - we need them!

It is great Kim. Everyone needs a big fat bag!!
I think it looks fantastic....let us know how it holds up and if you love it after using it for a few months.
Nice job :0)
Happy sewing
I love your bag! That fabric is just beautiful! :0)
I love the style and the material. The pockets on the inside are great. I still use the one you made for me years ago.
I love the bag; the addition of the pockets and the piping is great! It's the perfect size, too. I can see it with a novel, some sunscreen, and sunglasses in it along with every other necessity. Just right for summer. :-)
I love the piping, it really sets it all off!
