Great ideas, one and all,

I do the same for the handles ... some batting in the centre then a few rows of stitches. I smiled when I saw the second fabric on the edge, as I have done that too! Have never included the zippered pocket, but do usually include 4 or 5 open pockets to help organize. Some times I add a pouch/pocket with elastic at the top to hold a water bottle in place. Also, I always add a snap hook thingie (there must be a proper name!) to clip my keys onto.
So, now we all want to know how soon we'll find out which she chooses!!
