What was your inspiration?

My old handbag was falling apart, and I needed a new one immediately. I'd bookmarked the tutorial, and for the flowers I used a free pattern from Crochet Me (the "Flower Power" Posies).

What are you most proud of?

The way the crochet flowers turned out, bringing it from "blah" to "fun"

Take your time. This turns out an excellent product if you're careful.
