New bag

The bag I stayed up till 3am on Friday night finishing*, from this book (top one).

Close up of some of the embroidery/beadwork.
The spotty lining and pocket.

I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out, though after an afternoon/night of use the embroidery thread I used to attach the handle rings to the bag body has slipped through the gap in a couple of the rings :( Will have to work out something a bit sturdier.

*No it didn't take all night to make. I went to the opening night performance of The Blonde, the Brunette & the Vengeful Redhead. It was really good! Jacki Weaver plays the seven different characters telling the story and the way she's able to transform herself is amazing. Thanks to fringe benefits for the free tickets! No thanks to RK who stopped by to look at my street directory and took my car keys with him. I got all flustered and didn't think to ride my bike to the theatre. I started walking hoping I'd be able to get a passing taxi if Jen (who I was supposed to meet at the Playhouse) didn't get my phone message to come pick me up, but it all worked out in the end :)
