goldilocks handbag

a handbag goes on your hand. it does not weigh down your shoulder. this is a smart tool for carrying only the essentials. and not for bunging in just about everything (as i do with my burdening shoulder bag).

i really REALLY like the goldilocks fabric, and took pains to position it right. i wish i had not top stitched the handle, now, looking back. thing is, i’m not sure if i should top-stitch the red pleats according to my original plan.

so it’s kinda not really finished. i will maybe try just pressing the pleats the other way, and blind-stitching to the black. i dunno!

top stitch or not to top stitch?

    Very cute! That fabric is wonderful. Are you thinking of topstiching to match the handle?

    Great handbag, I love that fabric as well!

    Was kind of funny to find your blog, as I have been following your blog on learning Japanese. Someone has already asked you about swaps, but I am curious as well if you would like to arrange one.
