The finished, dried back side of the bag...
...and the front.
Making a button-hole for the drawstring.
Pulling ribbon through the sewn-on casing.
The completed bag front...
...and back.
With long grosgrain ribbon ties...
...in mix-and-match colors!
For a change, I made a bag that was not intended for use as a purse...
...but as a storage bag for my camera cord and recharger.
It reminds me a bit of a Victorian reticule...
...but in a larger size (11 X 12.5-inches). :)
I used wide satin ribbon for the drawstring casing...
...sewing it onto the felt along the ribbon edges.
The satiny finish makes the drawstring close very smoothly...
...plus, the inside of the bag looks pretty, too! :)
I threaded two different colors of grosgrain ribbon through the casing...
...to provide long handles for hanging.

I love how you stitched the ribbon on the outside for the casing. Quick, easy, and a design element as well. and the ribbons for handles? great!!
This is certainly one of my favorites that you have ever made. I love the color, orange is always a favorite. The design is simple but elegant. Wonderful!
Kathy--Thanks! I found the ribbon in my stash from when I was making 'taggie blankets' for baby gifts some years ago.
Pumpkin--Thanks! It surprises me how many of us 'orange grlz' there are out there! :)
