Well, I have been wanting to make a circle shaped bag out of this fabric since I got it at Paducah last year. The fabric was pretty expensive (Alexander Henry) and I was always afraid to cut it. But you know, that's what we buy it for!

I added some swaroski hot fix crystals to it. Might do a little more after looking at it with fresh eyes in the morning. Was gonna give to daughter, but i think I am gonna keep it for myself.

I didn't realize how hard a circle could be. the worst part was top stitching the edge when all done and that is usually my favorite part.

Good job... and your right, the circles or round ones are very hard... My Granddaughter's would all love to have that.. they are into the skulls, and the design... Good job...

Thank you! I also have pockets inside, too. I am so glad it is finally done. Next time i am going to figure out an easier way to do it. The handles were fun. They are cut out and then satin stitched.

Thanks for looking! :)

What a neat idea for the fabric! How do you like working with the hot fix crystals?? I thought about getting one, but don't know how much I would actually use it.

Thanks for sharing.
