Bag in the Works

I'm working on a weekender-sized bag. After making loads of these, this one was going to be mine (I still have no such bag). But sewing for one's self can feel like cooking for one's self––it just doesn't taste as good. Besides, it's more fun when I can share the prettiness with someone else (and I love the thrill of selling something I've created). Time permitting, this one should be completed in the next couple of days. The fabric is Alexander Henry's "Koto," one that has been in my stash entirely too long.
