Adding this to the Finish Along pool, my goal is to have this completely finished by the end of Quarter 1. I need to create the lining and inside pockets and attach them.

I used fat quarters of Juggling Summer by Zen Chic - Brigitte Heitland and some Essex Linen for the handles. Today I am doing the lining. This is pattern is by Amy Butler.

Quite by chance at lunchtime I looked at the rail tour timetables and noticed that there was one on its way. With only about an hour's notice I decided to head out to Drem, and then decided that was a bit far, so I opted for my usual location of Crookston Road by Inveresk. Quite a few people turned up to see Class A3 4472/60103 Flying Scotsman hauling the 1Z48 day two of the five-day The Flying Scotsman Centenary Weekender from York to Waverley.
The loco left York on time but was 2 minutes down before it had even reached Skelton Bridge, a mere four miles north. It was 12 late at Newcastle but with good driving and no little amount of helpful timetablery it was only 3 late at Berwick. That slipped to 6 late by the time it reached Wallyford, and 10 minutes at Waverley. But Flying Scotsman is the most famous engine in the world and it can do what it likes.

To install feet as I did in my Weekender bag you will need these items:
(6) 3/8"-16 Cap Nuts
(6) 3/8" Washers
(6) 1 in long x 3/8"-16 Course Thread Carriage Bolts
With these items you will get this look:

I buy all my hardware at Homedepot.
The cap nuts come in bags of two and are in a drawer with other cap nuts. They sell for $1.18 per bag of two. The cap nuts serve as your feet on the bottom of the bag.
The washers are sold by the size of the center hole (3/8in.) Mine measure 1.5 inches in diameter. These will sit on the outside above the cap nut as part of the bag feet. They are sold loosely in a drawer marked washers for $.25 each. Mine have ALC etched in them.
The bolts sit inside your bag and go through the masonite, the sewn bag bottom and interfacing. The washer and cap nuts screw onto the bolts to form the feet on the outside of the bag.
The bolts are sold loosely in a drawer marked Carriage bolts for $.25 ea. They have a square base which is why I cut square holes in my inserts to countersink that part of the bolt and lock them in place. It allows the top to lay flushly against the bag insert and that allows your false bottom to lay flatter on top of the insert.
With tax this hardware will cost about $7. If you are scared of the Homedepot I will be listing sets of this hardware in my shop but I will charge extra to cover my gas and time hunting them down,plus shipping.
You can take this list into any Homedepot, Ace , Lowes or other hardware store and they should be able to help locate all these goodies.
Please note that if you use this hardware you will need to cut square holes in your insert in order to properly seat the carriage bolt and lock it in place. If you do not counter sink them in a square hole they will sit up too high in the bottom of your bag, your bag's false bottom will then stick up too high and be lumpy, you will have strange bolts poking up in your bag, the feet (or cap nuts) will not sit correctly and may not fit on at all and the bolts and nuts will not lay flush on the bottom....causing unsightly bunching. The nuts might also work loose and fall off....and I know you don't wanna lose your nuts!
I guess what I'm saying is if you use round holes in your insert you should choose a different type of hardware.
Equipped with a Timex Weekender wristwatch for, appropriately, a weekend hike on the Raven Trail in Kanab, Utah USA.
The Timex Weekender, model T2N745, does exactly what I want a wristwatch to do: it keeps time accurately, displays the time clearly, and I never have to think about it or worry about it. This isn't a fashion or "jewelry" watch to pamper, it's a functional watch to use. Through dirt, dust, mud, and water it does the job. Not too big so it doesn't get in the way, but not so small as to be hard to read, with no extra buttons and no excess gadgetry to clutter up the face, not even a date window, the simple, minimalist Weekender is definitely one of my favorite wristwatches ever.

I will admit that I made this bag for myself (I know that seems wrong as we approach the holiday season), but this was definitely my most complicated sewing project to date and I wanted to do a trial run first. Now that it has turned out fairly well (and I learned a lot in the process) I'm ready to make some for gifts. I even have fabric and a victim (I mean, recipient) picked out!
