purple or taupe?

which laptop bag do you prefer?  I love me some purple but I'm thinking taupe would be a better option for the long run?  btw, this bag is on sale for $75 with code FRIENDS75 - woohoo!

    it was actually really nice not to be hungover.  we walked around some of the hotels in the morning and I was thinking, "hey, it's not so bad to actually be able to function!"

  • I totally know what you mean. A couple of recent trips I worked out early and/or ran on the strip. Always fun to see the drunks rolling in as you head out to get in a workout.

  • I just ordered the purple - when I zoomed in, the taupe looked a little cheesy, like the material was vinyl. 

    I need to be buying a $75 laptop bag like I need a hole in my head, but oh well.

    Thanks for asking. :)  

    The muslin has been fitted and fixed and almost all of the fabric/lining pieces are cut out. Tonight is my marathon sewing session. Oh, and have I mentioned I need to have it pretty much done by tomorrow night so I can have my sewing instructor help me hem it on Thursday?

    I'm so living on coffee the next two days.

     I'm sure it's going to turn out fabulous. Are you doing French seams and all of that?

  • Since the dress is going to have a lining, I'm planning on regular seams and then just finishing off the seam allowance with an overcast stitch. I actually have a lined J crew silk dress that I have in my sewing room that I keep using as a reference. Heh.
  • you just totally went over my head with the whole finishing seams thing. What is the difference between doing that and French seams?

  • I hopped in here to say purple, but you obviously took my recommendation psychically.
