That is awesome. Do you think it would be hard to add height to it? It is exactly the type of bag I want to make for a friend to take to work.

I really like all of the pockets. You're right, a couple of small matching bags will be a great addition to your organization. Love your fabric!

Okay, it's fabulous! I need one to take all the stuff to the sew-in retreat weekend in Bedford for the Military Barracks Quilt Project; if I send fabric you'll have it made and shipped back to me by Nov. 4th, right? :-D ;)

I love this bag!

I blogged about it here... http://yarn-or-fabric.weebly.com/1/p...urday-bag.html

but I'm sure you guys don't want to go there to read about it, so here's the quick run down...

It's 13x6 x7"tall
I used Stiffy from Long Creek Mills instead of Timtex
Hmmm.... what else? Oh yeah, the questions everyone is going to ask...
the main fabric came from Hancocks. I bought it last year. I'm not sure if they still make it or not.
The green crackly exterior fabric was from Walmart of all places. I got that last year as well.
The interior & pocket trim fabric I wish I could remember where that came from. It's really cool and I'm running out of it. :(

Most importantly.. the tutorial... http://sew-whats-new.com/profiles/bl...y-sewing-caddy
I added a second exterior pocket section so there were pockets across the front and back of it... I also didn't do the whole make a hole and turn ... I folded the top pieces down and topstitched. I think it makes for a nicer bag ;)

Yup. Nutshell :D

I really love this bag. As you can tell, it holds A LOT
I can not tell you how much is in there. I just literally picked everything up and threw it in there at the end of the night!
