I first saw this adorable bag on Storybook Woods. The free pattern is from Made By Rae and looked pretty easy. I have only tried a sewn bag once before but got stuck doing embellishments on the outside and never got around to finishing it. This was a small enough project so I knew I would finish it. I did the handles a teeny bit different - sewed them into the lining instead of outside the bag. I also used a magnetic snap which is too heavy for the cotton fabrics I used. Some velcro would have been better.
I am happy with the finished bag.......only problem for me is that it's too small for such a cutesy look and I'll never use it. If I had chosen more elegant looking fabrics, it would have made a nice evening type bag for me. As it is I'll be looking for a little girl who wants her own purse. :)
