earthwalker - that's a good idea! I'm going to look for a pattern tomorrow morning and see what I can find. She doesn't do much overnighting anymore, but does sit in waiting rooms and does hospital visits and might enjoy having a bag for stuff. The pansy-looking fabric was the last fat quarter the shop had in that particular batik - and that's the one I built things around. But .. I'll keep that in mind when I look tomorrow.
