A Girl's Handbag

Mrs. K and family have been our regular customers. They just loved to have different bags and totes made with matching coin purses. This handbag here is a special order for her grand daughter. The girl picked the body fabric. It was a bit tough to decide on the fabrics for the applique but after going through our statsh, we settled with this combination.



The inside view - pink checks lining with 1 zippered pocket and 2 simple pockets.

The side view - two separate body bags joined together - a design which the girl chose herself. Not bad for a 7 year old!

Handbag Again!

Ready, one, two, three smile..... Here is Mrs. DT with her new handbag. I am not sure the name of the bag (anyone?). It is really elegant. Made out of a heavy cotton fabric she bought in Australia. The round wooden handle makes it looked classy. It is suitable for a day out with friends or shopping.
Making it is not very complicated but stitching the handle is a bit difficult. May be next time I think of an alternative.
