Will Sunday be my new Sorry-Family-I'm-Ignoring-You-So-I-Can-Sew day? I hope so. I also wrote a
tutorial (http://kelly.hogaboom.org/tutorials/2005/08/hobo-bag.html) for this hobo slouch purse:

What's the point of the snap tape on the pocket? Feeling a bit dense here :-)

It's just a way to close the pocket. I hate sew-in snaps and I have a cheap press that doesn't do the job. Right now, I keep our bus pas in there. I have 2 little kids and I pretty much have to have a "sealed" purse so that things don't fall out while I'm distracted!

I found a great tutorial at doing a zippered pocket in the lining so I'm going to try a purse like that next!
