I've made several.. and love it.. I am going to make the handles a little bit longer so I can sling it over my shoulder.. I hate carrying a purse on my arm.. I think it reminds me of my grandma.. course I'm a grandma so what does it matter??
I have one cloesd with a magnetic snap.. the other with a button.. I haven't had anything fall out.. yet.. I'm about to make another one.. Patriotic I think.. Made one of those last year, didn't get to use it before someone talked me out of it.. oh well.. I have the pattern and the skill!
