@Cindy, I used batting in between the outer cotton fabric and the lining, to make it more sturdy and to protect the contents.
Everyone, thanks for your lovely comments and compliments!

Great bag! I like how the fabric makes it look like the outside is scalloped or curved. And inside pockets are awesome, I love pockets

Wow, 13 pockets? I would forever lose things in that many but how nice to be able to make pockets for exactly what you need. And I am amazed at the pattern matching you managed between the flap and the body of the bag!

Thank you very much for the feature, kittykill!
I love this. I may need to hunt down fabric like this because my honey was an English major. This is a really fun bag. I imagine you will get so many compliments on it.

I would love a purse with that many pockets. I carry essentials oils with me everywhere and it would keep them all upright and organized.
