I love putting hardware on bags - so I added some rings for the straps, and a magnetic snap for the closure. There are lots of pockets, a side pleat detail, and deep front pocket. This is a sturdy bag with lots of interfacing, fusible fleece, and a thick interfacing for the bottom. I finished off the top edge with a bias binding because it would've been really hard to turn all those layers right-side out.
She did request longer straps, and so I tried out some natural cotton straps from Wholeport.com. They are a really nice quality, and soft and flexible. Their shop has a big selection of colors and sizes.
Some goodies, Summer napkins, toothpick umbrellas, and a little tray were added into the package, and they're on their way to my secret partner. I'll be sure to post mine when it arrives!

Rebecca,
This is a beautiful bag and wish it comes my way. I only saw a picture at the bottom of Lia's message but can't see it with the other bags in flickr, but then again I'm not very familiar with the "flicker thing" myself.

This is an amazin bag, I'm sure your secret partner will just love it, if she doesn't, please ask her to forward it to me.
Oh my! What an awesome bag! Whoever is your secret partner is a lucky gal. You chose great fabrics and a wonderful pattern. All of those pockets make it very usable.
Happy 4th!
