Great Job!

Fabulous bag, fab post, fab pix!   Actually, this is BETTER than a real Birkin.  More creative and artistic and probably takes longer to make!

BUT...do you have a pattern you can post?   I'm curious about the step by stop.  Did you create a large sheet of the squares on newspaper, then cut it into the shape of the bag?  Did you cut the shape first?  How did you affix the handles? Etc.   A step by step tut would be most appreciated!

I usually carry only shoulder bags, but I would def, wear this bag!!!

In love...

I'd also love a tute, I think I can figure out how you did the outside but its the putting it all together (and the folded in sides) that I'm not totally getting. I'd love to make this for my mother using travel magazine pictures, she's quite the jet-setter, for Christmas.

Love this. Just beautiful.
