It was $2.49 or so, and it's pink cloth with a blue chinese dragon motif.

Can't think why women can't have those. So handy.<br /><br />Your story reminds me of when I was a child and we used to go to the supermarket and they would have these jellies for sale in plastic containers. And there were say 2-3 colours and we always wanted mum to buy them, but mum would say 'we can make those at home'. <br /><br />But we never did.<br /><br />Just buy the purse from the pretty things shop and you will love it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-64917988635358816392009-05-23T01:18:19.382+12:002009-05-23T01:18:19.382+12:00I can count on one hand the number of dresses I've...I can count on one hand the number of dresses I've sewn without pockets! I must have a place to put the lip balm. Even if I don't have time to put the pockets in now, I will make sure I leave the area where the pockets will go with temporary stitching so I can go back and add them later. Or I put in simple patch pockets, which takes very little time.Antoinettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398754886656482414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-50717510972175007692009-05-22T18:58:48.244+12:002009-05-22T18:58:48.244+12:00Faux pockets are so lame!

But I suppose that's one big reason for the lack of pockets in women's clothing eh?<br />I keep meaning to put little pockets in the clothes I sew, but ultimately laziness wins over and I don't bother. So I have to blame myself too...Violethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547452802344363142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-40566357368014518142009-05-22T07:42:59.935+12:002009-05-22T07:42:59.935+12:00Nigel Patel just said exactly what I was thinking....Nigel Patel just said exactly what I was thinking. Women's clothing should have more pockets! Having to carry a bag for wallet and keys etc slows me down in all sorts of small yet annoying ways.One thing that particularly irks me in getting DOTH into her car seat in dangerous busy carparks. Carrying a bag means I always have one extra thing to manage. <br /><br />The one good thing about my school uniform wearing days was the compulsory blazer with multiple pockets perfect for discreetly carrying a few tampons.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04797661728002935006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-16314048951817367742009-05-22T02:31:17.711+12:002009-05-22T02:31:17.711+12:00I have always thought too many women's clothing we...I have always thought too many women's clothing were underpocketed. <br />I think purses had an atrophy effect on the pockets. <br />Worst of all are the vestigial faux pockets common on men's suit jackets.Watson Woodworth https://www.blogger.com/profile/18056045044039701907noreply@blogger.com
