52 Week Challenge - Week 13

The 5th, and final finished project for the month of March.




I had fun making this reversible handbag in batik fabrics.  Very simple, functional, and easy.  Figuring out what kind of closure to use took longer than making the rest of the bag I think.  I may make some minor changes next time, a longer handle perhaps, modifications to the button/ribbon closure, that type of thing.  All in all though, I am satisfied with how it turned out.

If you are new to the 52 week challenge, feel free to jump right in.  We would love to have you.  Just add a link to your blog post, Flickr, or photo on your computer to a project you've finished this week.

So, what have you all been up to this week?  I can hardly wait to see.

Let's Get Busy,

    All of my projects seem to take longer than a week. Ha ha. But I'm halfway through tailoring a vintage dress, if that's something...

    See I'm still way behind. But I have finished some items. Need to get my blog post finished and up. Maybe tonight. A lot of mine are going to take more than a week too. Great purses!

    Love the bag. I was making handbags three years ago (before dolls) and love that style.
    Aren't batiks wonderful?
