I'm a purple lover and that is beautiful!

Super cute, love the colors too! 

  Hurray! Loved this site at first sight! There is no equal on the web. Congratulations, on a well deserved achievement!

Perhaps you're looking for a flex frame. You can try www.u-handbag.com. They may snap shut when you let go, though.

Very cute! The deer actually caught me off guard. I really like it!

I really like this, and the whole process you used. You have created a really cute and unique bag. The braided strap is the perfect compliment to the texture of your bag.  Your embellishments are lovely too!

You don't give any dimensions, is it a petite bag?

A beautiful bag! I love your choice of fabric. I'm all about the color purple!   What a wonderful Mom you have, to gift you that machine and then spend time teaching you how to sew. I would have to agree with everyone else, that sure doesn't look like a first project. Keep going, you've got talent!

  So cute! Thanks for the tute, I grabbed the pdf. So sweet of you to put that together. I really like your fabric choices, too.

Wonderful job! Fabric combo looks great, love those birdies! I would like to see the inside. It's so pretty.

Love both your bags! They are really quite substantial. You can fit so much into them. You did a terrific job!
