Finally finished...

Last night and this morning before work I was able to finish Jen's bag. In high school I had no desire and no "customers" wanting or asking for female accessories (cluthces, purses, aprons, etc). They have posed new challenges and have been fun to do. Jen said she wanted the same dark brown that Kirsten's apron was made out of. After going to Wal-Mart I brought home several new colors including this fleshy tan color. Maria thought Jen would like the lighter brown more so as a compromise I did a two tone bag. The bag is lighter and the fold over flap is dark. (I can do it all dark or light if you don't like it Jen)
The inside and the under side of the strap has a pink, textured fabric. It is actually some sheets or curtains that Josh and Kirsten found on clearance somewhere and is the same fabric used to upholster our dining room chairs (don't worry no one has ever sat on your bag).
The shape of the bag was a fun challenge too. Manipulating the tape to create a smooth circle shape at the bottom that squares off at the top and leads into the strap was a lot of fun.

I don't know if this is truly a talent or a waste of time but I am enjoying it (for now). I only worry that Maria is going to feel like a duct tape widow.
