So I have some really beautiful fabric that I want to make a bag with. I think larger bags are in, but I don't want it huge. Now that Little Man is older I don't feel like I need as much - so I need room for a couple of diapers and change of clothes. I designed a bag and donated it to an auction for La Leche,
so these are the pictures of the prototype. I think it turned out well, but I will make it a little
smaller next time and maybe interface the inside as well to give it a little more shape.



The inside had 10 pockets and compartments, including a zippered one. Thanks to Craftster for the tut.



I took this pic before I found the perfect button.



Detail of embroidery on front. I used stem stitch and back stitch in two different colors to
complement the orangeish-red lining color. I was sad to part with this, but it has a great new home and
 I know where it loves. I shall have to visit on occasion. =-)

How much would you pay for a bag like this? It's very large - probably 20 inches long at least with a 6 inch gore. Big enough for an overnight bag. I've thought about starting a shop on Etsy or something,
 but there's so much competition. I don't know if local sales would be very profitable here.
*sigh* If wishes were horses...
