The fabrics in the picture below is from my current stash - you can see what colors I tend to stockpile.
This is the front. It is made from a 16 year old Vogue Boutique pattern:
The periwinkle lining has 2 interior pockets:
And there is one huge pocket that goes across the entire back:
I didn't have enough of the periwinkle silk to line the whole thing so I used some leftover hot pink satin for the bottom of the bag.
I spent the better part of yesterday working on it and am very pleased with the results. I even have some leftover silk shantung -- one piece in royal blue and another in a gorgeous violet that might look just as special in this design.
Thanks for reading.

It's very pretty ! I love that purple shade.. isn't the silk too slippery to work with ?
I just saw your question. If you are nervous about working with silk the best one to start with is silk dupioni or silk shantung because they have good body and a little "tooth" to them. They have lots of slubs which make them less likely to slip.
I appreciate your post, i learn few things in this post, I have book marked this internet site so ideally I’ll see much more on this subject in the foreseeable future!
