    What a beautiful bag. I love the fabric. You really did a nice job and so thoughtful of you to even think of switching the zipper. She will get lots of compliments when she carries your special bag!

    Thank you all so much! I really believe she will use it. She has very expensive purses and it was hard to choose something for her. I used a see and sew pattern by butterick and I loved making it. Very easy directions.

    Many people have pm'd me about it so.....This fabric has made by Hancock fabrics on the selvage. It is a wonderful first quality fabric with a great hand. I purchased it from the fabric store by the same name here in the reno/sparks area. Personally I believe that they are a wonderful store with great values inside.

    I also love the ben franklin store fabrics, but they are close to the price of fabric in a quilt store.

    Just wonderful. So much genuine thought and caring in it. Can't put a price on such a personal gift like this. Your sister should just love it and be very touched.
