today's project, bamboo purse

This is the Bamboo purse from The long thread (thanks Ellen for you quick response). I had this project in mind for a while. I bought the handles the other day and decided to make it for a work mate who is having a hard time. I had bought the fabric to make a kimono shirt for my niece, but there was plenty of it. So Sunday it's like a perfect day to spend sewing. I had fun. I love making little details to these thing, like the brooch I've attached. Those things always make a project more special. I'll give it to this girl tomorrow, so fingers crossed!
