Trimming the inner 'pocket' flap...for better fit inside the bag.
The finished bag (back side)...
...and front (with un-trimmed front flap).
A closer look at the back...
...and front.
Preparing to sew the inner pockets.
The finished multi-pocket flap.
The finished front flap after trimming and top-stitching.
As per my friend's preference...
...I made a 'pocket flap' with discrete, segmented pockets this time...
...in order to create more organization within!
I used 'doves of peace' fabric to line the pockets...
...both for it's complementary color, and it's energy. :)
I considered leaving the front flap untrimmed for some time...
...but finally decided that I preferred more of the silk showing...
...and that by trimming and top-stitching it, I could showcase it better.
I made the bag handle very long on this one...
...so that Melissa can wear it 'cross body' as she likes.
Next time: Something wonderfully orange (for me!!)...
...and P.S. : Melissa was well pleased with this gift! (Whew!!)

This is a sweet bag. I always love your style and technique to make bags with straps and inner purses. The flaps are pretty as well.
Thanks, Terrie! Wouldn't it be fun to eco-dye and make felt together one day? We could learn so much from each other...and it would be so much fun! :)
