This is my Braided Cables Bag. I just love this purse! It has everything a girl could want in a carryall…because is does carry all! It’s really very roomy. It also has a sturdy bottom base, and nice thick strap, which are supported by dowels inserted into the top edges. And no stretching out of shape because of the pretty, yet functional liner.

I’ve been using this for some time now as my purse/lunch bag… and it’s great for…shhhhh!…sneaking candy into the theater! ;)

And a girl can’t have too many little swirly rosettes!

I’ve been waiting to post this until I was a little closer to be able to post a pattern. I was a tad hesitant because I felt (and still feel) that it is quite a project to undertake, and would be difficult to explain in a simple write up. I’ve decided to make another bag, along the same lines, only with simpler construction, so that anyone wanting this look, but not the cumbersome instructions, could whip one up in a jiffy. I’m just about ready, so I thought I’d give you a preview to keep your loomy wheels turning. :)

Have a Fantabulous Friday! We’re off to enjoy Narnia!!!! I’m taking my 2 girlies, and one of their close friends…and of course my best guy, up to Olympia to enjoy the show. I can’ t wait!
