3|3|Linda, you are sooo creative! That would be cool to use some Stephen King covers :) I think Dark Tower series would be cool!|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|19:46:55|11/16/2008|
"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 4|4|Thanks Joy! I sewed a thick clear vinyl over the original dust jacket, so it makes purse durable and waterproof to boot.|HONEY11|HONEY1@AMERITECH.NET|19:52:34|11/16/2008|

5|5|I thought so :) Hey, did you try making one with the flap closure? You could use velcro to hold it closed :)|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|19:53:34|11/16/2008|
"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 6|6|Yep, I can do flap one's with the velcro closure on them, probably be quicker as the zipper is tricky to sew and causes a couple crinkles in the purse..|HONEY11|HONEY1@AMERITECH.NET|19:58:19|11/16/2008|
But figure they get crinkled anyway when used..I just did this one with a zipper to see what it would look like..

7|7|Those would be cool.....you should see if Hot Topic or one of those kinds of stores would be interested! Those would be a huge hit with the punk girls using the right covers :)|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|20:00:27|11/16/2008|
"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 8|8|Thanx Joy, yep I think vampire authors would go over really well..I have'nt thought of "hot topic" my son buys from them...but if they |HONEY11|HONEY1@AMERITECH.NET|20:13:56|11/16/2008|
buy only from manufaturers or if they'd buy from a crafter. I'll have to e-mail them and ask.I was thinking about checking out "The Alley" as they sell unusual stuff and gear towards punk & rock too, as well as motocyclist.

9|9|Oh shoot, I forget youre in a huge city....you could find smaller stores that would be all over your purses, I'm sure! Another thing that might go over really well is comic book covers :)|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|20:15:52|11/16/2008|
"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 10|10|Lol!! Boy we think alike!! I was just in my son's room looking at the dust jackets to his hardcover comic books!|HONEY11|HONEY1@AMERITECH.NET|20:29:12|11/16/2008|
Thinking maybe I can copy the covers? or would that be infrigment? wondering how the heck i'm gonna buy just the jackets without having to buy tons of books? My son's friend works at a gamer store, and they are all big trek fans...thinking if I could start there and then expand.

11|11|Garage sales! And sometimes public libraries have book sales...I get books for under $1 all the time at the library :) I'll see what I can find next trip there that might be cool for the purses. You should come up with a wallet design for the guys!|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|20:36:26|11/16/2008|
"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 12|1|Linda those are awesome!|sunriver|lithiasalt@cheerful.com|20:40:31|11/16/2008|
What a clever idea!
I was thinking of you yesterday as I was trying to lug home stuff on the back of my daughters stroller. Around here many stores are discontinuing the use of plastic bags and of course they all have those "tote" type bags that they sell now.
Those tote bags do not fit easily on the back handles of a stroller like the regular plastic bags with 2 handles do. So, as I was struggling I was thinking "Boy I wish I had bags like that, I wish someone made bags like that!" And that made my mind jump right to you and I thought, "I bet Linda could design something like that."
I know those environmentally friendly bags are very popular and I do not think it is easy to find the plastic bag shaped 2 handled ones...
There's a million dollar idea for you! :0)

13|2|Vanessa, try making some bags out of old tshirts....Linda gave me instructions in our post about those plastic crocheted totes....the tshirt bags are more like the plastic bags with two handles! :)|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|21:18:45|11/16/2008|
"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 14|2|thanks Joy, I will have to check out the libraries in my area, and I do have a wallet pattern that I used for the juice pouches, so thanks Joy for the idea|HONEY11|HONEY1@AMERITECH.NET|22:20:56|11/16/2008|
to make some wallets as well for the guys, I did'nt think of that one! Vanessa, I read your post and thought it was soo sweet that I was thought of yesterday, and such a upmost compliment to me, I found that so endearing and made me smile..that all along you have noticed my creative side...I love to create new stuff, all the time...brain is constantly going..lol!! Like Joy mentioned to make the t-shirt bags would work great over the handles of a stroller and they are easy to make. If you want bags shaped exactly like the plastic grocery bag, you can use a plastic bag as a pattern.{{smile}}..
