Hi gals, I've finished my Sweetpea navy blue bag. I'm finally pleased with it. I put navy blue webbing for the handles as it's very strong and I tend to be heavy handed when putting my bag in the car he he he!

What a beautiful bag !

Большое спасибо за ваши добрые слова. Мне нравится создавать дизайны Sweetpea. Сумки всегда полезны, особенно со всеми вещами, которые мы, женщины, носим с собой. С любовью, Крис, Ньюкасл, Австралия

Thanks for sharing this finish with us. It came out great, as all your bags do. You know how much I like pockets and I like the creative way you added the zipper & pockets in the seams. Nice❤️Toogie

Thanks so much Toogie, I too love lots of little areas to put things. Love Chris

Your new bag is lovely. That’s an interesting way to add zip pockets (vertical) to a purse. It will make organizing things very efficient. One quick pull of the tab for easy access. Well done.

Thanks, yes, they hold a few extra things for me in those outside pockets. Love Chris

Oh WOW!!! What a gorgeous bag. I love adding pockets with and without zips in a lining, so useful. This bag is put together so fine and all the pretty embroidery designs. Are those vertical zips your design to or included in the SweetPea instructions? As said, Navy goes with a lot of colors so watch out wardrobe----you'll be carrying this a lot. I, too, like the webbing straps and yes, very strong.

Hi Patti, no the inside lining (separate to the normal lining, includes the vertical zippers) One other lady on the website did it a couple of years ago and I copied her idea. It's great as I can put in a few extra things inside those areas. Love Chri

O My O My what a Beautiful Bag. Love the vertical zippers have not seen that before on both sides. I enjoyed your posting the variety of pictures, thank you for doing it that way. You have to be so proud and happy with the results. Enjoy , Zoe

Yes, you are right Laura. It's been great so far and people are amazed at the stitchwork. It's easy I say as it's all done by my embroidery machine! Love Chris

Hi Betsey, I did it over 5 days, so approximately 8-10 hours. I don't rush it. I'm really happy with how it turned out. Love Chris
