Yay! I made a new handbag! One of the perks of working at my LQS, Quilt Cove, is that I can take classes for free. Last Saturday I joined a handbag class and made this. I had it partially done at the end of class. I went home and sewed until midnight to finish it: The pattern is The Essential Tote by Around the Bobbin: Our store sample is made using fussy-cut Quilt Minnesota fabrics: One of the neat points about this pattern is that it has a zipper, for a more secure handbag: Yup, I'm loving my new handbag! The main fabric is "Naomi Collection" from Yuzawaya in Tokyo. The base is Grunge. The lining is Jen Kingwell pin dots: Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy Linking up to Elm Street Quilts-Bag It 2017, Cooking Up Quilts, Freemotion by the River, Confessions of a Fabric Addict, Busy Hands Quilts, Crazy Mom Quilts, My Quilt Infatuation, Bag Maker Tuesday, Bag Maker's Tuesday
