I’ve done a second bag and I am so much happier with how it has come out.
I still think the first one looks amazing but that’s mostly because of the fabric combo. This bag has a good fabric combo, AND its construction was a lot cleaner. I changed the way I did a couple of things, and ended up with the outer bag and the liner better matching in size. I did a two-tone strap, which is great, but then had a few problems with my machine while doing them and so one of them is a bit messier in the stitching than I would like.
On the bright side, I can make one with just two fat quarters, which I LURVE buying, and I use the cardboard from the quarters to reinforce the bag’s bottom.
Anyway, here’s the bag.
And a fabric beauty shot.
Finally, Wendy my dear, if you like this bag, it’s yours. :)

Yup, this one is exceedingly nice, too! Got an Etsy shop?
wow! that is nice! love, love, love the orange lining!
I’ve been back for a second look at your bags because I fancy making one (or more) for myself. I have to dig the sewing machine out first though.
