I had so much fun designing and picking out fabrics for these gifts for friends. I used some of the elements of the Covington bag that I had made before but made the bags big enough to hold some books, papers, or even pared-down baby gear. I picked bold Amy Butler fabric for the exteriors and then coordinating stripes or polka dots for the interiors. I know my friends pretty well, but I was a bit scared that I had gone too bold for a couple of them. Fortunately, they all proclaim to love the bags so I think it turned out ok.

P.S. I'm having problem taking good pictures these days. There have been few sunny times for taking photos so I've had to resort to using flash.....which I hate.
P.P.S. Sister, I plan to make us some bags someday soon. I haven't found the perfect RED fabric for the two of us, yet.

I really like them all, so if you can't find red....I'll be okay. :)
I do love my bag and have used it pretty much every day since I got it.
Muah!
P.S. -- I re-posted the blog entry -- this time with the Martha Stewart Crap-ft project photo.
I'm pretty sure nobody was joking that they liked their bag. They are gorgeous!!! I need to get out my sewing maching and try my hand at purses, where did you get the pattern?
Yes, those bags are beautiful!! What a treat to receive one of those!
Sarah,
I invented my own pattern because I sort of knew what I wanted. There are a lot of really good patterns out there though. I really like Amy Butler's style: http://www.amybutlerdesign.com/products/patterns_top.php
