I'm not sure what to call this one.  I made it for my cousin.  I was given free reign on this one.  Her mom mentioned she likes burgendy and sage green (not necessairly together) and english saddles as opposed to western (she teaches riding lessons).  I will be including a small change purse with an english saddle made out of silver studs, but haven't started on it yet.

I think I know my cousin and these look like colors she wears, and it has some sage green in it.  It's a little bit lighter than burgendy, but I think that's okay.  I loved working with the pinkish color (lining) - it hardly frays at all!

Betsy,

That is awesome!! I wish my bags looked that great!!

 Would you mind telling us how you get your bag lining that perfect with pockets?  I'm making a bag right now as a Christmas present and would love to have a lining like that instead of the plain one I'm making!
