Not exactly a Vera Bradley-lol-I looked at her hipsters, because a lady at church, had one Sunday.So, this is my version.I liked the many pockets,because I like to find what I want without too much digging.I needed to down-size as my arm hurts,carrying a large bag.You know the bigger,the more you put in.#1 front-a front zip pocket and an open one behind it. #2 IPhone in the zip and keys dropped in the open pocket #3 I made 3 deep,inside pockets on the back lining, to hold sunglasses,glasses,hand santitizer stick,lipsick,lotion &2 pill bottles under those #4 is a 6 inch ruler,inside the back zipped pocket ,to show depth.I like the wide opening too. Sorry,no emb on this and not sure if I will make another.Spent too much time figureing measurements. I also practiced, my free motion stippling, on these pieces. I hope you like my bag,I think I will.If not my daughter will take it.-lol-Toogie

This is gorgeous! You have done such a wonderful job, I would love to try one too, I love the pockets to keep all those small bits, saves digging around for them all!

I forgot,I wanted to show the inside pockets, on the lining, before finishing.They are deep, and the middle is narrower for my reading glasses and hand stantitizer stick.

The finished product looks lovely and no one will guess you misadventures, unless you tell. I was sure in the wrong ballpark, but that should tell you it wasn't noticeable except to you. LOL, Leaha

That's okay,don't you like guessing,tho? I knew it had to be ripped,just was tired that day and would have liked to get through.

Really good looking--you will probably have a long line of those "willing" to take it off your arm!

I'll be glad to send you my address in a PM if you want to send it to me?

Me too, me too!!
If I don't use it,I'll get that address-lol-uh,oh,I'm not making another soon, so you will have to draw straws,like momma used to make us 3 girls.One would do the dishes,one make beds and the other sweep, while momma sewed.She always wanted a dishwasher,but daddy told her she had three!-
Your mom was a wise woman and your dad was just plain smart!

It is gorgeous!!! Perfect in every way and I love it! You did such a nice job, don't you just love it!! The second bag should go faster, do you still have all the measurements? After all of that I can't see you falling out of love with it already and giving it away so soon. If you do another bag will you do the same pattern? See you're already doing a second bag, you just don't know which one yet. lol! Sorry Haha! I get carried away.
My greatest fear is we have one set of keys for the car, and if I put them anywhere in my bag different I go into panic mode trying to find them. The pockets you did solves that issue, it keeps things separated really well.
Hugs, sharon

Toogie, Years ago my sis was having bursitis or some -itis in her shoulder. The doctor told her to take her purse home and weigh it (9 pounds) and cut the weight in half (4.5 pounds) forever. The -itis went away!
1 comment
I don't this is 'going away' but it's a nice thought.I have moved already to a small size,I had before with a long strap,so I don't have to put on my arm.I love this bag,it has emb all over it,but it is wearing out (and dirty)-wonder if I could wash it on gentle in the machine.I may put a photo up and tell me if you think so.It's ok for the bus,but too soiled to go anywhere.Scroll up & down here,if I don't forget to photo it,you can see

Looks like you fixed the alignment of the zipper , Great Bag
1 comment
It wasn't the zipper,it was the whole pocket.! I was afraid when I ripped the pocket out of the trim seam,my zipper would come apart, since I had cut it,like we do ITH projects.Thanks for lQQking !

Your purse is pretty too, both are perfect for spring. I'm sporting my black handbag, with grommets. It's a thrift store find, finally saw one who had one just like it at work, one of our customers and she had a scarf going through the grommets, so I guess mine came that way and never knew that. I may have to change bags soon, the black just doesn't speak spring.

Looks fantastic! My sis is a fan of Vera Bradley, so I often pop by her website to look at her styles and accessories (pockets, where to attach things). It's great for bag inspiration. Love that the phone is separate and handy.
