I made this for my son's girlfriend. She loves penguins so I went looking for the fabric this morning. There were very few penguins and they were totally Christmas, then I found this. I also saw that Joann's had all of their handbag handles on sale for $3.99 so I got 4 of them. I figured I probably had fabric at home to go with it and I had the black and the yellow/orange.

I think it's ok for a 21 year old, not too childish. :P

Beautiful! She will love it :D:D:D

Oh that's great!!! :)

Oh, I really like it. Perfect. :-D

Perfect!

That was fast! I think it will be perfect for her.

Great job on the bag! Neat stitching on the pocket~

My DD would so snatch that off your sons girlfriends arm faster then you could say penguin! LOL!! It really came out beautiful!! Great job!!

Stunning! I love it and so will she.

Warn her! People will stop and ask about this beautiful bag.
It looks great. I love the yellow/orange on it.

I do think it's cute. :) She can tell people that it's one of a kind, custom made!

Wow, that's great! Not childish at all, it's perfect. At 46 I would carry it! :-)

Gorgeous bag.

This bag is just tooooooo, tooooooo cute! The color combo is great.

That turned out great. Love the rings/handles.

I think it is perfect and I love the black and yellow with it. The handles give it a nice look too!

OMG that is so beautiful. Of all the purses I've seen, this is by far my favorite. She will love it. I haven't seen this fabric at our Joannes.

Great Job :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

It's great. She will love it. You did a great job :thumbup:

Beautiful !! My daughter-in-law would be very jealous !

Love it! I would carry it in a heartbeat.Great gift.

Love it. Not too childish, I am old and think the fabric is awesome.

that is absolutely darling, love it!

Love it. So adorable. Love penguins.

Adorable :thumbup:

I love the different handles. My daughter would love this, as she is a penguin fanatic as well. Will have to get some penguin fabric.

I love it1 I would be happy to carry that around and show it off.

Perfect fabric! I love it!

I love it!

Thanks everyone :) It was a lucky find of that fabric. I was on my second round of looking at all the bolts when I noticed it.

that is great!

I showed my DD and now she wants 1 with same fabric. Ugh!!!

LOL!! After I finally noticed it (it wasn't registering because I was looking for something like Chilly Willy), I saw two other bolts of it.

The yellow is from a set of Bali Handpaints... just helping you out here. :lol:

Wow! That's very special. I'm sure she'll like it. Can't believe you did that so quickly!

very fun, Nice coordinating fabric

I'm gonna have my sister in Lexington look at Joannes for me, I don't have 1 near me. Thank you for the info.

She's gonna love this!!!! bj

My son just texted me that he proposed to his girlfriend :)

How exciting!!! Oh wait, did she say yes?

LOL! He didn't say so I have to assume it was a yes.
