Helen, I still have the pattern for your cat-bag. Did you copyright it, or shall I start a new business making cat- bags? Come to think of it, I haven't got time to start a new business. Marianne.

Hello Richard, One advantage of velvet is that it provides sufficient friction to encourage a secure hold on the bag. Many people use the Northumbrian black white plaid, sometimes called 'shepherds' plaid' for the same reason as well as a notion of 'cultural appropriateness'. However if excessive dressing has been used in the bag, such a cover will quickly stain whereas dark velvet is more forgiving. No need to use anything at all of course if you have a good leather bag and don't mind the look of it. You'll find an example on the front of Rob Say's excellent new CD. The risk of excommunication and burning at the stake for deviant bag-cover use is not currently substantial. Francis On 11 Aug 2010, at 21:37, Richard York wrote: Greetings.

Richard Consider corduroy. It gives at least as good a grip as velvet, doesn't wear thin patches as readily, and is a heck of a lot cheaper. I actually prefer it to velvet. Going without a cover is ok until you start to sweat. Then it can feel really icky. Alec In a message dated 8/11/2010 1:39:01 P.M.
