I don't care for the bows at all but love your design for the "body" of the bag. Someone suggested yellow buttons at each handle base and someone else said "chunky" buttons. I like both of those ideas a lot. Do you get to keep your own or will you be exchanging with another member? If so, whoever gets yours will be lucky.

Love the bag, and I agree about losing the ribbon and adding buttons. Anything more would be overkill. And I'd be very interested in a tutorial on your diamonds!

Still, it feels like it needs a little something more. Any suggestions?

I would love to see a tutorial.

Bag looks great, you are such a talented gal. If you do want to add something I think this suggestion is great.

I love the folded diamonds. I'd love to see how they are made. How about doing a tutorial?

I was thinking that a wide rick rack in yellow or pink all the way around the top might look nice.
They make some fuzzy wide rick rack..... called Jumbo Chenille
