Another bag!

I seem to be a bit of a bag lady lately...lol.
This one started with a handful of lace and ribbons, reclaimed fabric from shirts and dresses...


And this pretty floral hand-printed fabric.



I made a pattern which was a rectangle with curved bottom corners.
Cut out the bag front and back and lining.


Then cut out two straight peices about 8cm wide for gussets for the bag and lining.

I decorated the front pannel with some ribbons and lace before stitching the whole thing together.

The bag turned out a little too wide at the top so I had to put a couple of pleats in. Next time I'll do this before I sew it together.

I added another piece of ribbon around the top to hide the stitching of my pleats. And here's the finished bag...
