What female doesn't like purses and totes? I altered a pattern that I had; I wanted it taller (roomier) to accommodate all the stuff I seem to accumulate.
Each time I have made an item that I think I will want to make again, I should jot down some notes to help me remember the troublesome steps.
I don't know if I like the orange button and think I will look through my stash of buttons for a brown one but for now it does the trick.
