Handbag set

Sh! Its for my daughter belated birthday. I am only a week late,  but I  did send it today! Most of the time she doesn't have time to check my blog so I think I am safe in sharing without her knowing what she is getting. If she does see it that's ok. I hope she likes it as much as I liked making it. 

 I had fun making this set. I used the Simplicity  2277 for the handbag, the two zipper monogram bags and the monogram on the handbag are from pickle pie designs. The Kleenex zipper bag is from Secrets of Embroidery.

The handbag I  modified a little. Instead of making a basic handbag with a cover  I made it all one  piece and put the handle in front and back instead of the sides, added the ribbon and monogram embroidery to match the zippered bags. I think it turned out well considering the lining in handbag wasn't working out for awhile.

thank you for visiting and have a great day!
