That is Really cute:) I have never made a bag yet so I may just have to try!!
Thanks! I hope you do try it! Let me know how it goes
Rachel,
I was watching someone on the “create” channel or maybe it was Martha Stewart but they lined their bag with different colors of electrical tape (sticky side to the fabric). They then sewed or crocheted the sides. This gave it a bit of waterproofing and helped it from stretching. You bag is really cute; going to try to make it next week.
I admire your creativity. Had heart failure and starting over again. So I am excited to be creating little items. Thank you for sharing some very pretty designs.
