phew! cut everything out yesterday. wasn't sure i'd get to sew much today, but once i got started, couldn't stop. definitely an all season bag, really, because the jewels almost look like hanging christmas ornaments for december, hanging beads for spring & brown all around. yeah, santa baby. bring me more fabric!
it's completely reversible, well, except for that magnetic snap. but, the gold blends in & i'm good with it. don't sweat the small stuff, right. hand made rules!
oh, and if i want more of the mobile.chocolate to show, i can turn the pocket to face my body & totally show off this fab fabric. :D
p.s., i try. not the best pictures. it's dark up here & the ones with the flash were scary bright, these without, a bit out of focus. and too sharpen too much on my photo editor, well, it distorts. it's all good. you'll get it, no doubt. :)

This turned out wonderful! I do agree that you could use it year round, too, and I love that it is reversible. I am also curious which season is next...spring?:)
OK, Kris & Audrey. You have me giggling about this this morning. I am going to shoot for winter. But, heck, who's know what may come over me? Black is soooo hard to find, for inside & out, and I want black, darn it! And, on another blog this morning, I actually saw where we are still in fall. Yes! Remember winter starts officially December 21st? I'm not as whacked as it seems! Thanks for your fun comments...and that's to everyone who stops here! They make my day!
once again, beautiful bag! love it.
oh that bag is so cute.
I love the bag. The fabrics are fabulous.
