Green & Pink Purse

Remember the red purse I made last week or so? Well, here is the pink and green one from the same pattern, but modified! I made the body bigger, put the handle on the side and used D rings on the inside. And instead of that strange 'u' shaped piece, I cut a long 2" strip that was sewn long enough to hold those D rings. Also, the side of the band was sewn flat instead of sticking out on the sides. Minor differences, but I like this bag much better!

Again I used one of the scarfs/kerchief that my mother had given me and the green fabric was found in the remnant section at Walmart. There was barely enough to complete this! I need to so a little embellishment, but otherwise I am really pleased with the result here!

This is the back side...my photos are not really showing how the green of the handle and top match some of the green in the pink fabric...oh well. I know it works.

Christmas bag I made

Good Morning! I stayed up late last night making a Christmas bag. I made it with pockets on all sides, both in and out...so it is reversable. What do you think? I used 5 different coordinating fabrics, one of which was just for the strap. As for the strap, I had to cut two strips and sew them together before it was long enough for me. I had fun putting it together and I was amazed at how quickly it went too. Of course, I was listening to one of the Harry Potter books on CD, so that helped the time go quicker too. :)
