Batiks By Design

My mother’s birthday is just around the corner and I’m getting ready to make her the Towne Purse that I sell on my site.  This is one of the purses that I’ve been meaning to make for a while, but just haven’t gotten around to it.  It’s the pattern that most seems to fit my mom’s needs as well.  She doesn’t like to carry a shoulder bag anymore and has to have lots of pockets.  This pattern says there are 9 pockets.  I hope that is enough!  It even has a zipper, a must with my mom.  My dilemma is what fabrics to use . . . she’s not into the Vera Bradley look since her purse has to match her outfit!  I just use a purse until I get tired of it or it falls apart, whether it matches my outfit or not.  I’m thinking black and white, which is a nice look for summer.  If I make the main part of the bag in fabrics with black as the background, then it won’t get so dirty and I can use the white fabrics for the trim/accents.  Two of my possible selections are to the right.  I’ve also considered some of the fabrics that are black and white with a little bit of brown as shown to the left.  If you have any suggestions, let me know.
