I chose this super cute and relatively easy bag as my first sewing project.
I lengthened the handle for a longer purse

This project would’ve gotten a 5 star rating, but didn’t for two reasons: –No yardage listed for pattern –As a novice project, the instructions could’ve been a bit more clear. For someone who has never sewn, the instructions were a little limiting. The photos that users posted helped greatly!
Overall, this was an easy project, took about 5 hours to make (first time sewer, here!) and I’ve gotten lots of compliments on the bag.
I recommend this project!
