Ying Yan Bag. Quite a challenge for me

This was a joint project for 2 of my friends and myself. It has not been the most enjoyable thing I have made. Now it's done I will give it away.

Sorry it wasn't enjoyable. But it turned out very pretty. I love your choice of fabrics. Whoever you give it to will love it!

Funny you should say that. I did throw it my waste bin, went out for a walk to ease my frustration and then felt guilty on my return about the waste of fabric and time, I withdrew it and finished it off. I feel better knowing that I am not the only one who felt this way. Thanks for your comment sassey.

Hadn't seen this one before so did a little search for the pattern http://www.sewthankful.com/YinYangHandbagPattern.html I think yours is just as nice as the ones shown, hopefully someone will enjoy it!

Well, you did a great job in spite of it all and the color choices are really nice. You've taken a picture for prosperity's sake, and I'm sure whoever you give it to will love it! It really is quite unique looking. And thanks for letting us know how you feel about, I really like making purses but I think I'll stay away from this project!
