I made a purse!


My mom mentioned that she would like a new purse and we happened to be in Joanns so we checked out their patterns. She found a bag that she liked so I decided to try my hand at stitching it up! After a few mistakes...ripping things out and sewing them again, this is the finished product. The only thing I am not happy with is the elastic bands that go over the buttons. I cut them to measurement but they still needed to be tacked down. Other than that...I think it looks good!
