Used the leftovers from the shoulder bag for a cosmetic bag. The bag is sewed the old way without raw edges. The three parts of the flower are done ITH on felt, to give the flower some dimension and then sewed together and on the bag, hope my GD will like it.

I love this bag in spite of the fact that blue is not my favorite color. These blues are gorgeous.

This bag is sew cute!!! Where do I buy this flower design? And the place to find the pattern would be quite useful too!
thanks for sharing, ohsewhappy
they would make great holiday gifts with a gift card tucked inside :)

Thank you, I made the bag similar to this tutorial
http://www.usefuldiy.com/diy-small-sew-handbag/
but with some changes. The zipper is on top, and I have no raw edges because I sew the outer bag and the lining not together. The flower was a freebie from Bernina Germany .

it is a very beautifull bag. I'm sure your GD will love it. I have been checking the link you posted below. But I do not see the possibility to print out the pattern ?

Thank you, I allways work without a pattern, only the fold on the bottom I make the same way. So I can sew my bags in every measurement I want.
