Here it is... strapless at the moment.
How long do you like your strap? I know a couple of you said you like the option of wearing it across the body - so like how long is that for you in inches?


I do love this fabric!


Two pockets on one side (inside)... 
You can't tell, but there are two spots to hold pens...

And yes, my first zipper! 
You would have thought I won a gold medal the way I showed it to all my family. 
I think Jacob (mr. 14 year old) was like, 
 "Okaaaayyyy?????"

Yes - so now I can sew an inside zipper. 
I know one for the main body of the bag will be my challenge on the next prototype.




'D' rings for your wearing convenience. 
I also still need to add a magnetic snap. 
Nope - no zipper this time, but a snap I will do.



And "duh", I forgot to take a picture, but there is a pocket for a cell phone under on of the 'D' rings on the side...
It measures roughly 15" x 12".
Again - I need you comments and suggestions. 

Same as last time, a comment and you are in to win this.
Have a lovely sunshiny day!

OH MY GOSH!!! You are a genius! I LOVE it!

I think you should put that doodah on it that makes the strap adjustable because someone of my girth has need of a longer strap than say ... most everyone else.

I was totally laughing about your inside zipper because the first ... okay, FIVE that I did I showed EVERYONE. Bookclub - yes, I made this - look! I put in a zipper!

I prefer a magnetic clasp over a zipper for the top, but some don't, I know.

I am so impressed, Elizabeth!

Alright, I admit I came to your blog looking for the purse...it is so cute and makes me want to see spring again. I think it is so perfect for the last bit of Winter. Good job on the zipper, that's a super hard thing to do. I (almost) died laughing at Cooper and his day though, I do love the real ninja haircut!!! Little boys are just the best!

cute fabric. sorry i didn't comment on the last one like i said i would. i loved the button closure on the last one and i love the zippered pocket on this one. i do like the magnetic clasp idea, but maybe with the look of the button closure?

I like a 25" handle. You've done an amazing job with the zipper. The D rings make a nice touch.
