added that first one to my favourites, that is gorgeous!!

This was one that I liked the look of, I think it's because of the unusual shape.

That's gorgeous soblivion but it says I wouldn't advise this bag as a first bag project

i haven't made a bag for years and I am seriously rusty on using a sewing machine

Found this one, Would look really cool in more modern ties but once again I think i need to get my sewing skills up to scratch first
