What was your inspiration?

My mum's need for a bag to match her ankara bubu inspired me to creat a bag from the remaining piece of ankara.

What are you most proud of?

The combination. It turned out better than I had anticipated.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Get a matching plain satin for the ankara of your choice. Fold on desired length and width. Line. Finish to your desired handle length and pocket size.

I made it without a pattern - free hand cutting. However I can draft and send something to you if I could get you email. Please note that I am just a beginner.
