Planning a bag...

Last night I didn't sew a thing.  I did iron and cut some fabric to make a bag with.  I also browsed embroideries.

I'd like to do a light line embroidery on the front of the bag because it's going to be a very simple looking thing.  Here's the fabric I cut:

 The lime will be the lining.  I thought it was bright and funky.

I love the look of linen.  I haven't decided what I'm going to do for a strap.  This bag is going to be taller than it is wide.  I was going to install a snap closure, but I'm rethinking that.  I may do a zip.  Maybe make it a fold-over with a small snap on the outside.  I'd also then sew loops in where I want it to fold and attach the strap there.  This shouldn't take very long to sew up once I get it embroidered.  :)

I'll post the embroidery as soon as I decide what to do.  I've been going through Urban Threads.  Sooo many wonderful designs to choose from!  With my new ideas of how I'm going to design this bag, I may put a small embroidery on the 'flap over' with a larger one at the bottom of the front panel.
