I was recently told by my therapist to use a crossbody bag. VB's were the only ones I could find light enough make a difference. I purchased one, found it doesn't go with my summer clothes so I have ordered another. Both came from ebay at great prices and have quite a few pockets. No zippers on the interior ones, though. I don't have time to make purses so these are a viable alternative or were until I learned they have been outsourced to China. Hopefully, these two are old enough to be USA made. I do have some quilted fabric and a pattern. Someday!!
