oh, just a reminder, it's based on this pattern.



the bag that I'm making will consist of four panels like that one. I'm actually not following the pattern exactly, and instead of doing a garter stitch I'm doing a stockinette stitch (which is why it's rolling up around the edges- something I need to take care of later but it's worth it because I want the fabric to look a certain way). (and yes, I know that I have to do two of the panels backwards because I won't be able to just randomly flip them around)

I'm also planning on adding a pocket, because I have my secret stuff that requires a tiny pocket on the inside of the purse. so I need a really fun, funky button.

and I plan on stitching the panels together with either bright yellow or orange ribbon. to keep my secret pocket secret, I'll have to stitch it on with something that isn't high-contrast, but I'll do stitching around the edges before I sew it in so that it looks like it has contrast stitching.

neat-o!
