Halloween maybe?

I purchased a half yard of this wonderful orange silk taffeta and because of the way embroidering it works, I embroidered all of it at one time.  So now I have enough embroidered to make five bags.  Two are done and now I'm working through the others.  I'm hoping to mix it up a bit more in the future rather than having five bags of the same color but at the moment, embroidering more isn't top priority so I'm just working on what I have ready.

This one is purple embroidery on that orange shot taffeta.  It looks a bit Halloween to me but I still love it.  It's lined in a cosmic cotton print and has that inner bag.  I changed this up a bit since the last one so I think the bag will work better but I think construction is a bit better on the first one.  It's done in a different order that I thought would speed up the process a bit but it doesn't.


I think I will leave the orange for awhile after this one and embroider some new fabric.  I have a purple taffeta that I'm wanting to do something with as well as a bright blue dupioni.  But there is always black too...  So many options and not near enough time, as always.  =)
