Little Purple Handbag

I love to make bags and this is the second time this summer I was asked to make one on commission for someone.

A few years ago I made this one for a little girl and now, apparently, her friend needs one as well.  I am more than happy to oblige.

I used the same pattern, and it came together just as easily.  I tried the two-strap version this time just for fun.

Hand embroidered name tag, which was then machine stitched onto the bag

What little girl wouldn't want to play with a purse this cute?!

P.S.  I really must do a better job of pressing/getting rumples out before taking pictures... this one looks like its just been run over by something... its not that bad in real life, I promise.
