I am definitely digging these new bags!
Of course, it didn't take long for H-1 (one of my twins)...
...to 'put her dibs in' for the next one!
I used two colors of variegated roving for the body of this purse...
...an orangey-red and a yellowy-pale blue (if you can believe it!)...
...and some variegated pencil roving and dyed flax (thanks, Kim)...
...for the sunny design.
I wanted to find new options for the straps...
...and in this way, keep the bag a little deeper and roomier.
(In the previous bag, the straps were cut from the top of the purse.)
My daughter chose some plain, eggshell-colored bamboo fabric for the straps...
...and I made slits in the felt for the horizontal one...
...covering the machine sewing of the shoulder strap to the purse.
My daughter added one of my handmade buttons to the front for a little detail...
...and now she's happily using it!
