I like it!! i don't think it's too "young" for ANYBODY! I picture it as a great take-along yarn bag when you crochet or knit.

you did a good job on that, even if you don't want to use it yourself. Somebody will enjoy it.
Was it hard to make?

I went to You Tube and typed in rope purse. Found a nice tut on making one that is lighter-made with cotton batting and folding the fabric over that then sewing. I'll see if I can find the link again. Forgot to do that last night. :oops:

that is the coolest bag i have ever seen!!!!

Unfortunately, i woul dnever be able to use something like that- all my bags HAVE to have pockets in them. thats just how it is and I dont see how you could attach any to that bag and make it look right. Oh Well!!! Fantasic Job!!!!

Thanks, no it didn't take long. I worked on it for 2 days.

Cute purse! I think a lining with pockets would make it much more usable! And then you could use colors more to your liking! I like th flowers!

Yeah, when I make my purses, I always put a back wall zipper and front inside pockets in them. Sometimes outside opckets too.

Great Job, Sewnsewer!!!!! and your fabric is wonderful!

I'd use it as a tote for hand work - like for dr. & dentist appts where you have to sit and wait for hours. It's beautiful - and everyone will want to know where you got it!!!!!
