Sew a Handbag...

My first usable big handbag!! I used the fabric that i bought in Leeds - from here, and made up my own pattern.
I added pleats - 3 on each side of each handle for a little detail, and a quite a large pocket on the inside. Its also got a calico covered piece of card on the inside so that the bottom keeps its shape. I'm mega pleased with this! Its actually very neat work. It was made to match a vintage dress i bought recently, but it doesn't really go...It will be used anyway methinks!
