Some more bags for you to look at:

Small cream & orange carpet bagSmall red carpet bag

Brown & pink carpet bag
Brown & pink carpet bag - from a pattern

There are two sizes of the same type of bag here. I'm showing you the first two (which are smaller) partly as a "look how much better at this I am now than I used to be" type exercise! I'm still happy with the choices of fabric on those first two, but I don't seem to have discovered interfacing back then, and they really are very flimsy and floppy. The larger one has much better structure and stands up on its own more, which is great. The larger one is also I think a much more practical size. As well as being bigger, the larger one has a zipped internal pocket, (rather than the little outside one on the smaller versions) and a stiffer base, which again makes it more sturdy.

Usual types of queries - any comments on practicality/price/would you buy it - all welcome. I know the owner of one of the smaller bags reads this regularly, and the owner of the larger one might occasionally, so am interested to hear anything from them!

(There is another one of these in progress for big-sister-who-doesn't-post-here as well, so you might get to see that soon.)
