Ruffled Bag


I am watching the gorgeous snow fall and counting my blessings as I sit under a blanket blogging. Here are some pictures of a bag I just made. At this point my sewing consist of a straight stitch which is all I need to make ruffles, ruffles and more ruffles. I used a bag from Walmart in the craft section. I hot glued the ruffles on, cut the existing straps off and made my own. I have never used grommets before, but they were very easy to work with. I needed and wanted a longer strap for my use. I have carried it several times and gotten lots of compliments. I was even asked, "If you don't mind my asking, where did you buy that?" Of course I had no cards on me because I had just switched purses.
