My first handmade handbag! It's like 3 bags in one!
OK, so I think after a nap I'll check this post for grammar and such. I'm tired.
I've been working on this about an hour or so ever other night this week and finally finished it. My dear friend Mica gave me a bunch of different pieces of fabric and told me to play, so play I have. I made myself a reversible handbag. The outside has a Peter Rabbit scene on one side, and green stripes on the other, and then the inside, which can be reversed to be the outside print is a pretty retro-esque floral print.
I truly love how this turned out. Over time, as my sewing improves I hope to improve upon this patter more and maybe sell my bags on my shop.
I stuffed the handles to make them easier to hold and the bag is approximately 13 inches wide, and 12 inches tall. I wanted to make it fit the image, but also I wanted it to be a larger bag for when I have more things to carry.
