Appliqued Handbag
The first thing I made when I learned how to sew was a purse, then a tote bag. So, this was a flashback to my very first sewing "challenge". My first bag wasn't appliqued, but that wasn't much of a stretch. I appliqued this on the machine, but just because I wasn't in the mood to hand stitch my applique on. Also, I was disappointed with the final size of this bag...much like I was disappointed with the size of the fabric basket. I expected to be making a medium size tote bag and it turned out that I was actually making a tote bag just a bit larger than a wristlet. What would I ever use this for?
