Yes, that's the song I had stuck in my head. This one. The Andy Williams version. I guess it's only natural, since I've been working on Gerri's Z Bag - Gerri of Happy Hearts Cookies fame. :) The song was welcome relief, actually. Prior to getting started on the Z, I was plagued by "I've Got Spurs That Jingle Jangle Jingle". I don't know why.
Gerri chose the fabs in the last photo in the last post I put up. It always seems to be the one that slightly pushes the envelope! Here's how it's coming along:

Quilting one of the straps
I'm quilting in a variegated pink and it's making me smile.
Here are some various bag parts:

I actually started on the Hold the Phone! Bag, too, and had finished it before I knew what had hit me. Here are the HTP! Bag guts:

In this next photo, I'm sewing the Velcro onto the inside of the HTP! Bag. I put interfacing behind it for added stability.
I've tried other methods of finishing the bag, sewing lining to outside, but since I want some top stitching there anyway, it's a one-stop shopping experience.
I even chose some cool beads and put those on:
On to the Z itself this afternoon!
Thanks for reading!
