I like both--it really depends on how much you want the bag to "pop". Maybe the green with a red band?
If you got the plastic lining inside the bag, wouldn't that make it stiffer?

For the body, I went with Cabana Stripe Ocean. The stripes will go horizontally.
The bottom of the bag is Roman Glass Stone.
The prints are separated by a matching khaki tan Custom Band and the bag will have a khaki tan inside. The straps are two sided: khaki tan on one side and Roman Glass Stone on the other.
My changing pad will be Cabana Stripe Ocean with the stripes going the length of the pad. The ditty bag and paci pouch will be Roman Glass Stone.
Aimee said that she is very excited to see how it turns out. She compared the fabrics and they do coordinate very well. She also said that the Roman Glass Stone is turning out to be a pretty popular fabric.
I think everyone should post photos once their bag arrives!
It sounds so pretty! I'm liking the Roman Glass Stone too.

What about the red cabana stripe for the bottom (going horizontally)? On the diaper page, she has a small diaper bag with the topsy turvy print and a red cabana stripe bottom that is very cute!
That sounds gorgeous.
We all must post photos when we get them!
I'm excited. This sounds like a good quality bag for a good price. I was sharing a concern with her that I had about picking a lightweight fabric for the interior and she said they interface both the exterior and interior of their bags. Plus if you want, you could add extra interfacing, although I didn't.
I chose the Lily bag in Kiwi Sky Pink stripe (going vertical) with a dark denim bottom and a matching iris colored ribbon. Inside will be solid iris.
The Elaine is similar in size to the regular ISM bag I have. I find that I need a little more depth in that bag, so I went with the Lily. I added the extra interfacing, additional pockets, and key loop. I got 28" straps - same as my ISM bag, enough so I can comfortably get by elbow out of it. I chose a magnetic snap closure.
Total came to $49, $40 for the Lily, $5 for the extra interfacing, $3 for the add'l pockets and $1 for the key loop.
I thought the changing pad would be too small for us so I'm going to use one I already have. I'm still thinking about maybe getting the ditty bag.
You know I am debating about the changing pad. I hardly ever carry mine. I leave one in the car and I have a few extra that I can probably use and that are black....plus they make those disposable Huggies ones now....
Melanie-
What fabrics did you end up choosing?
Okay, I was feeling pretty good about my choice until I read all of yours!!!! I am the queen of indecisiveness anyway, so tell me what you think:
OPTION ONE:
BOTTOM: Dark Denim
TOP: Pink Twill
CUSTOM BAND: Very Stripe Watermelon OR Paisley (under patterns/prints section)
INTERIOR: pink twill
STRAPS: denim and custom band color
OPTION TWO:
BOTTOM: Dark Denim
TOP: Very STripe Watermelon horizonally
CUSTOM BAND: pink twill
INTERIOR: pink twill
STRAPS: denim and pink twill
OPTION 3:
BOTTOM: Black twill
TOP: Dragonfly Green
CUSTOM BAND: Red twill
INTERIOR: Red twill
STRAPS: Black and red twill
OPTION 4:
BOTTOM: Black twill
TOP: Pink Twill
CUSTOM BAND: Black Geo Squares
INTERIOR: Pink Twill
STRAPS: black twill and black geo squares
Are options 3 and 4 too "fallish"?
I am getting the paci pouch OR the small make up bag, the key loop and the snap closure on the straps. Either button or snap closure to bag (which is better???)
I tried to cut and paste the fabs, but it wouldn't work!
Thanks for your help!
