WIP finished and on to a new project

i just wanted to show you what i have been up to on the weekend.


Just finished this little handbag. the lining is a deep red strong corduroy to give the bag a bit of shape. there is an outside pocket for a mobile phone or some tissues. and the handles are just long enough to hang it from your shoulder.


i'm quite pleased with myself although next time i will do a couple of things different:
  • inside pocket with zipper (for all the most important stuff woman carry in their handbags)
  • some kind of posibility to close the bag at the top
  • a slim foam lining to give it some extra stability
  • little metalic "feet" for the bottom
but i'm in love with it anyway. hope my little sister likes it...



so... now i can tackle my next project: i'm meeting up with a friend to choose some fabric and pattern for my x-mas outfit. thinking of an a-shape top and skirt in some cream colored material. i'll keep you updated.
