WOW! The Pearce is done. What a journey!

My Mom has been using it for a few days and she loves it. I am so relieved. I won’t tell her about the trials and tribulations.

It is a good thing I didn’t add that mesh pocket I discussed in the progress post! This was a challenging bag to put together. The final seam, as mentioned, was more than a bear.

I like the features that Sara added, such as the vertical pocket in the back.

I was able to use a leftover piece of zipper that I had laying around, thus the odd red zipper. Hopefully, it will add a visual cue to where my mom puts stuff. She uses that pocket for her glasses as it is too small for her phone.

I am running out of the Paint Tube fabric, so I had to find some other fabric that would coordinate. The dots are leftovers from a dress I had made for Politcal Wifery. It worked pretty well, I think. No complaints anyway.

The bag has two pockets. I added vertical credit card slots to both. I am glad I did and I would do it again. She uses the large pocket for her phone as well as various cards.

The small pocket is accessible, too. I think she uses this for her insurance card, driver’s license, etc.

I am pleased that she likes it. I feel like I should make another one, but am reluctant to take on that bear of a curve again.
