I finally got around to making the Fat Bottom Bag from Debbie Stoller's book Stitch 'n' Bitch: The Happy Hooker. I made this in preparation for our upcoming beach trip in June.










I made some modifications to it. I created a lining with a central divider, creating two large pockets. Then I put small pockets on each outer lining edge: a single pocket on one side and a double on the other for my PDA and cell phone. In case the purse gets dirty, I wanted to be able to remove it from the handles to wash it. So I created buttonholes on the handle attachment part, and added 3 pink buttons on each side. Then I added small seashells on each side just underneath the handles.
