Solution?
I cavalierly ripped off all of the wonky bits...
...then camouflaged the largest naked section...
...with sewn-on vintage buttons in the style of this terrific bag (see last photo).

Luckily...
...the rest of the fabric pieces felted-in beautifully...
...and look quite pretty.
Evening out the top edge of the purse...
...prior to adding a batik fabric lining...

...and a hand-sewn leather strap.

Very nice bag, and very pretty too. But I'm sure you knew I would appreciate this one, simply because of the color. LOL I'm sorry some of the materials didn't felt properly, but I think you did a great job of covering that area. :)
Very cheerful color and functional bag. Love the batik.
Thanks, Sandie and Terriea!
A great recovery - well done!
Thanks, Rachel! Happy New Year!
