These are the front and back panels. I opted for beaded fringe. Couldn't help myself. I found the perfect beads at Knitting Central in Westport, CT. The only problem was I couldn't figure out how to attach them without some of the ribbon showing. So, after one try, I decided I didn't like it and took the ribbon off. What I ended up doing was dismantling the beads and sewing each piece of fringe on individually. I still have to do the other panel.
This is what it looks like on the inside of the front panel. I marked off where I wanted to put each piece of fringe, then, using a beading needle and some kind of special beading thread, I restrung each piece and knotted after each addition so if one fell off, the rest would stay put. Yes, it was tedious! But well worth it, I think.
This picture shows the front panel, the piece I cut out for the lining (blue fabric), and the pink and green pin stripe which will be used for the pocket. I can't wait to finish it!S.W.A.K.

Oh man! I love your fabric choices. I have that pattern and some much less inspirational fabric. Your beading idea is brilliant and I might have to steal it! Thanks for the inspiration!

Really adorable bag. I need to think up a banner so I can win the Halloween contest.
