I made my first ever handbag from scratch this week, I used my fav. red skull and crossbone fabric, interfacing, plain lining, a magnetic closure and the sewing machine.  It took 2 hours from start to finish, had a gusseted bottom so I can shove even more goodies init when out shopping!  I am SO proud and am on the look out for nice fabric to make more!
I hope you like it.

It looks great, did you use a pattern?
If so can I ask where you got it from?

It’s great, Kyla.  You’ll be able to fit lots of crafty goodies in there next time you’re out shopping!
