Ginny

Ginny, a good friend from college asked for a bag! here are her specs and how I did it...

So I think I want a med-large bag. Big enough to hold some snacks, a sippy cup, diaper, wipes etc. And I really like the pleats on the bag.

I am not too picky about fabric. I did link to a couple of your pictures of fabrics that I like. Something more neutral like greens I really like. And I think I would prefer the designer fabric. I want it to be unique and a good quality fabric.

Here in Moscow I dont have as much as a selection as I would like....but I think Gin will like this fabric and its colors. I like it. The whole bag (INSIDE and OUT) is made from Amy Butler. She has really great stuff, and really good quality. The fabric is thicker and stronger. The designs are different and totally unique.

I feel I do need a disclaimer- The colors are little brighter than what they are in actual lighting. just because of the afternoon sun and my camera.... the blue is like a dark baby blue- not bright blue as it appears in some of the pics, and the green isn't neon green either....

Look at me all frumpy.

I like the 3 pockets on one side and one on the other, and I think I would like one on the outside.

So here are the pockets- three on one side, and one smaller in a contrasting fabric on the opposite. Its good for chapsticks and quick notes. Very handy
I gotta have an outside pocket! I put cell and keys there 1oo percent of the time. a must.

I think I would like two straps that are longer. Is that possible. I want to be able to wear it on my shoulder and have it lay around my hip. I'm short though so it would probably be a little shorter for me than it would be for you.

I LOVE these straps. I lined them too, so that they wouldn't fold over on each other and get super crinkly...like the very first bag I made...yuck. I need to fix something on my first bag, and I think I might convert to a two strap person :)

I like to wear mine across the body for the crazy moments when I'm juggling kids, grocerys and holding hands finding keys- I just can't deal with the purse slipping off my shoulder a million times.

And I would like the magnetic closure.

Is the key clasper thing to hold keys? Cause if so count me in, I can never find my keys.

I also did the Key strap in another contrasting fabric- so when you have just a sec to glance in the purse you can find things quicker.
