My Frolic Bella bag. When I saw the pattern on Heather Mulder Peterson's website, I needed to have it.
Then I had to decide on fabric. I went back and forth with it but decided on Frolic.
Here's my bag...
And the inside....
I like it. I need to make the handles longer. They are too short for my liking. And I did the handles a bit differently. If you look at the patten, the handle has a pointed end. Mine, well, came out looking terrible. So I cut of those ends and just turned them in and made them straight.
All and all, Heather's first bag/tote was very easy to follow and it didn't take me long to make at all. My mom liked it so much, she requested that I make 2 more for my cousins in Poland (mother and daughter). One is going to be Frolic and the other is going to be Blush. I have to get going on those. My mom is leaving for Poland in early May for a couple of weeks.
Enjoy your day!
