Pike Street Bag...x-posted to Show and Tell

[skamama]

Pike Street Market Bag is my newest bag. ) It has a side pocket and measures about 16"x10.5"x4". Felted with Patons Classic in Paprika and some other wool for trims. Flower was originally going to be made with cut felted swatches, but alas my yarn stash is such a mess I can't find them. So, cut some vinyl remnants instead. Please let me know what you think. I'd love to hear what you would change. I'm not sure I like the running stitch that secures the straps to the bag. Also, I'd love to be able to make the flower also function as a small pocket in the center front, so I'll work on that. Also, if anyone would like to test the pattern. I would need comments back by 3/21/05. It takes about 4 skeins for the body + 1 for the trim and straps.
