You did a great job. I made two of them for my DDs for Christmas and just finished one for myself. The one I made for me is 'cut down' to be a little smaller as I want to use it as a 'large' purse. I used some of the less expensive upholstery fabric from JoAnn's and am very pleased with how they turned out. They certainly do take some time and careful attention to the directions, but the results are fantastic. I'll try to get some pictures to post soon. Congratulations on yours. Is that cotton fabric? It looks intriguing.
