One more Christmas´ gift

I would like to show you also a handbag I made for a friend as a Christmas´ gift for her daughter, because I was very happy about the result: it´s like a tote, but the shape at the bottom is squared, living a lot of space inside to carry all the important things a 5 years old girl needs when going out 😉 The pattern was designed by myself, inspired in a Japanese bag I saw once in a magazine.
My friend D. chose a sweet piglets fabric for it, inside I sewed also a bag with a string for closing it better, making sure her things would not follow out of the bag (well, I think this would not be really necessary, but her girl wanted so much to have the “Beutel” inside!), so, here we go:

The skirt my girl is wearing at the photos was also made by me 🙂

I still have a handbag like the one with the piglets here at home, but in another fabric I made as a prototype for seeing if the shape I drawn on paper would work on fabric. I will give it soon at my little shop in Dawanda if you are possible interested on it. The tote is small in size but can fit a lot inside, if you need that extra space when only your handbag is not big enough for everything you need to bring along, or to go out just like this, a charming little tote! Have a look at my shop in Dawanda for it if you would like to.
