Hi Victoria, I hope you are having a good day today. I went back and re-read this post what is your eBay sellers name I want to take a look at the things you have there. I have a small Gucci (sp) wristlet my daughter gave me last year for Christmas ,it is brown, and it fits in my new bag just perfectly. I am also going to make a pocket for the inside for small things and my cell phone. My daughter wants me to make her one exactly like mine she said!! When you have time could you email me the pattern for the smaller size and the yarn you used (it has to be exact) my daughter is so funny sometimes. We'll have a good day and I will talk with you this evening. Love Winnie

Hi Susan, Well, I spent the weekend lining my bag. The first part was simple. I found an off-white satin-finished pillow case that was very close to the off-white/cream color in the yarn, then trimmed it to fit inside perfectly. Then after I got that done I decided it needed some inside pockets (hind sight being 20-20 haha). I should have taken the lining out and put the pockets on, but no, I decided it would be okay to use fabric glue. So I cut the pockets 4 pockets, 3 medium/small and one large (to fit my Kindle). My idea being to use it for travel. I figured if I fly somewhere, I can also take a sm carry-on suitcase and pretend this bag is my "purse" while also having enough room for the overflow. Well, the glue idea worked, but not very pretty. And it made the fabric stiff and uncomfortable. So, I've decided to take the whole thing out and start over using the matching pillow case and doing it right. I'm not a perfectionist mind you, but, there comes a fine line of, "I'm just not happy with that". I'll post some pictures when I get it right. Huggs, Victoria
