Turning the project...
...right-side out...
...and tucking the lining into the bag...
...prior to top-stitching around the mouth of the tote.
Choosing a coordinating color of leather for the straps...
...and fashioning them, using a rotary cutter.
Stitching the straps in half along most of their length...
...and then splaying out the ends...
...for attachment.
(This process is repeated on side two.)
The finished bag (back side)...
...displaying its whimsical double gauze lining...
...and the front side with key ring...
...(formerly, part of the skirt closure).
Next time: I start a blue one! :)

Wonderful - a good, sturdy bag.
Thanks, Rachel! The skirt fabric is so nice...I couldn't just consign it to the Goodwill.
