A functional work in progress

I put myself on deadline so I could finish this in time to show my teenaged granddaughter when we go to the beach. Happily, the placket cloth is now usable as a shoulder bag ...


even though there are minor details to be attended to, such as substituting proper sized D-rings for the top knot (the ones I got are too wide) and managing the fringes so they don't go any farther (although I don't think that would be the end of the world, actually) ...


Overall, I'm quite pleased ...


The interior pockets are just the right size for my wallet and phone ...


while the very deep back pocket will serve well for odds and ends that get used less often ...


Best of all, I can still add stitching on the go ...


which is sure to get me some side-long looks at the airport next week!
