I made this bag using Japanese Folded patchwork which at the moment I am addicted to.

How pretty that is.

love it, never heard of Japense folded patchwork

Did you find a free pattern online or a tutorial

Very pretty!

I'm usually not too fond of bags, but this one is fantastic - "quaint" is the word that leaps to my mind.

I learnt the method at my quilt group. Made the bag myself, using trial and error.

Very good at trial and error. So unique and pretty!

Sew pretty.

Very nice! I've never heard of that technique.

What a cute purse :wink: :wink: :wink:

cute ;-)

I'm a big bag purse myself, too but this is adorable :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Oh, that's really special; I like it a lot! Great that you just "invented" it!

That is really neat :) Love it.

So cute-I like it lots.

I love it! :D

It looks great! Japanese folded patchwork? I've never heard of it before but I'll be sure to research it. Great job!

Can't see a pic of this

That is a very unusual pattern but I really like it.

I love that, it is so unique!

Very pretty. Love this handbag!

That is wonderful. I see getting addicted to this

That bag is very unique. and the fabric sets it off nicely. Is it the method of sewing two circles together, turning them, then stitching them together to form the faux cathedral windows? You've done a great job.

You cut a circle, then place a square on a piece of wadding place in centre of square and then turn the edges of the circle in quarter of inch(do this first) then fold over on four sides.

Beautiful! I googled Japanese folded patchwork and there are numerous sites and a couple of tutorials for those of you that are interested. One is "http://cheznaomi.blogspot.com"(okay that link doesn't work). Just google Japanese folded patchwork and you'll be able to see what I mean.

What a novel little hand bag you have created. it has such a special look, like almost antique. Can't really describe what feeling it gives, but I sure do like it.

Love your bag and found myself intrigued by the method. I had never heard of it before.

I found this free pattern for a handbag:
