ONE MUST ALWAYS HAVE A CO-ORDINATING HANDBAG!

I made a handbag today to match the dress that I had sewn last week. I still had some fabric left over and thought "why not have a co-ordinating handbag?!" Unfortunately, the New Look pattern I used is now out of print, but I'm sure that I've seen this design with another pattern company.



I've made a couple of these over the last year, and just love the design. Just a bit different to your usual handbag, but still big enough to carry your purse, mobile and make-up!

Not a lot of fabric required, so it's good to use up your scraps - and it's reversible as well, so 2 handbags in one!

I do so love a matching bag and dress...


Have a great week!
