I am making really good progress on this bag. The gusset is much easier to assemble after making so many.
In this case, I didn’t have a brown or beige double zip handbag zipper**. That is definitely a problem. I like matching my zippers to my fabrics, but I don’t want a bunch of beige and brown zippers hanging around that I can’t use, but have to look at. I think the grey looks ok. We’ll see when I get the top on.
I am fond of the leaf fabric I used for the interior even if it is beige. I don’t remember when I bought it, but it has a very nice metallic leaf on the fabric. The motif is delicate and not garish at all.

I think the color of the zipper works really well, it goes with the big stitches on the fabric. That’s a pretty lining fabric, love those skeleton leaf prints.
Thanks! I was concerned about both. I like that skeleton leaf fabric as well. It has a delicacy to it that even the beige can’t hinder.
