I got some Renaissance Ribbons from i heart tula pink in the mail today (which I ripped open like a rabid dog), which is an on-line retailer that sells only Tula Pink fabrics, patterns, ribbon, and limited edition quilt backings and kits. If you're not familiar with Renaissance Ribbon, they manufacture a lot of beautiful grosgrain ribbon. Besides Tula...

I finished this bag yesterday and breathed a huge sigh of relief. I have made many bags before, but this is the most difficult. The multiple layers of Peltex interfacing you need to sew through, combined with the cording, make it really tricky (although, this is the last step in assembling the exterior; getting through all the other steps...
