Thanks to everyone for rating my bags!

Now with 50 votes or so, I can kind of get an idea of what is more popular than others. But to tell you the truth, the results were far close to each other than I had expected. I thought that for sure some bags would be so unpopular that I would have to drop them. I guess they are all going to make it through!

The effect that I hadn't expected from this 'rate the bags' was the marketing that I got out of it! This was my first step into taking this project public, and although it was a very small step, it was a step forward none the less.

Now it's time to get the materials together. About that, I'm already running into problems! Some fabrics that I chose (Leaves in Teal) are out of stock at the supplier due to its popularity! I had to make an impulse decision on the spot the other day and had to order a mass quantity and pay for it on the spot! (and it's still not guaranteed that I will have it in time to make my deadlines)

And to add to my list of growing problems, the Shiny Nickel frame that is used for the Classic Clutch line is also out of stock at the supplier! This one is from a pretty big company so I'm pretty sure this a very temporary situation, but we'll see........................
