What was your inspiration?

What are you most proud of?

The way this bag turned out. I made it for my sister and I got her to choose the fabric, I was a concerned that they wern't a good contrast but she wanted them no matter what and i think the look turned out great. She was so happy with it.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Have fun, this is my sixth bag and I am still loving making them.

My sister was quite chuffed with the comments about her fabric choice, she is not a sewer although she did help with the pressing as I was putting it together.
