In the meantime, I'll post some FOs for the week. The purse below is the retro purse by ithinksew.com, which I've made a couple of times before.
I narrowed the strap and made it adjustable so that it can be worn both short (as below) or cross-body. The fabric, BTW is Amy Butler's Temple Tulip from the Soul Blossoms line. The lining is Amy Butler's Full Moon Dots from the Lotus collection.
On the inside, I added a zippered pocket, as well as a slip pocket with dividers for a cell phone and sunglasses. Finally, I added a pen loop and key chain clip. I love these details!
Then because I had some extra fabric, I made these two card cases. I was experimenting with a magnetic clasp versus the velcro strip. I don't know, something about a magnetic clasp gives it a little more oomph.
This one on top was the second one I made. The tab is a little bit wider and longer. The one below has a shorter, narrow strap. The next one I make, I think I'll combine the two and make the tab longer but narrower. :)

Lovely purse!
I love your purse, having dots inside is so much fun!! Your little card holders are wonderful too. It's interesting to hear your thoughts about clasps and straps.
