That's how I like my straps too, just easier to carry and harder for someone to steal. I would have skipped the piping, although it looks gorgeous! I'm not very brave. My hat is off to you for doing it three times!<br /><br />I think a big button on the front flap would finish it off nicely.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877277586697593998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-25263909439616290952011-04-14T21:05:37.633+01:002011-04-14T21:05:37.633+01:00I have the book, and I liked that bag, but the pip...I have the book, and I liked that bag, but the piping scared me -- you know, the way the bias binding scared you on my bag. This is lovely! I think the poppers will make it more sturdy and secure. How about decorating it with a huge yoyo done in the lining fabric? You could safety pin it on so your mom could move it around if she likes.Nancy Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01495672268045907181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-84210275168844301752011-04-14T19:20:27.934+01:002011-04-14T19:20:27.934+01:00Fantastic, Wendy!
