    Yup, all of them! Oh well, they're really nice looking, and the inside has LOTS of pockets like I prefer!

    Great bags.

    My dd's school needs some silent auction items. I think those would be a hit.

    Is it your own design or did you use a pattern?

    Those are adorable, even though I prefer leather purses

    There really isn't a pattern, But the basic method for making them I got off the site Allfreesewing.com and just adapted and customized each pair as I make them. It is a bit tricky sewing through the thicknesses at the top, but you must have a denim needle, and I use denim thread for the top and matching thread in the bobbin for the lining. I make the straps from the legs, and line them with matching fabric. I usually make a tie with 2 X WOF sewn end to end, but I also have just used a belt instead of a tie which also looks great if you find a really great belt. Add any bling as you like. Each bag is unique. I have done over 20 now. They are really fun, and you can pretty much make them how you like them. I sold quite a few at a craft fair before Xmas, and surprisingly, the majority were to women, not teens. I LOVE carrying them and always get complements. Oh, I also use a magnetic closure at the top, which is put into the lining before attaching it to the bag around the top. Sometimes, I use a smaller magnetic snap on an inside pocket, too. You can see several on my Flickr page if you like.

    Funny, some people have them right side up. I wonder if they are right side up viewing on an IPad, which is what I goop the pics with and posted with. On mine, they are correct.

    Those are great and I love the one you made for me. It will be my beach bag. It is so cool how changing the fabric completely changes the look of the bag.
