Agree with everyone else - great job on the bag and extremely professional looking. Also love the 'handmade' tag.

Beautiful and so well done. It looks like a purse that you purchase in the store. You did a fantastic job on it.

Oh, Watson, you did an incredible job on the handbag! Like everyone else, I think it looks so professionally made. But I can understand your frustration with it. I have made a number of purses, but never with cork. Some designers are better than others in describing the process. It sounds as though this designer was very thorough. Who is the designer?

audsgirl...it is Blue Calla Designs.

I think the pattern was fine and the videos were great, but I may have chosen a purse that was too advanced for me for a first try.

I found that I had a lot of extra cork fabric left over, as well after buying to the pattern requirements.
