I used one of the books that I got from Corrie and choose one of my Florence Broadhurst fabrics to make large shoulder bag. I added a little mobile pocket and another pocket on the inside (as I am always losing my mobile and keys in big bags). It took me a little time, as I was trying to 'read' the Japanese instructions (no, I don't understand any Japanese). But I finished it last night in record time (considering). I will definitely make more, as I really love the style. However, I may have to choose a different fabric, as the Florence Broadhurst fabric meant that materials alone were close to $40. Not cheap, but I love it anyway.
Not sure if I will keep it, or give it to my sister for her birthday next month...it is OK, I don't think she knows about this blog.

oh wow I love the bag! you know if you were really adventurous you could do a little embroidery in black on the pocket! love it....make yourself another one and keep it! I have these issues about giving things away....its hard
Oh Belinda I LOVE it! It is the perfect fabric and pattern combination. I am sure it wil be well loved.
Thanks girls - Ingrid, I was just saying that to Alex (about the fabric/pattern combo). I was looking at other fabrics that I have and just thought, nup, the fabric just wouldn't work with the pattern. This worked well.
It does work well. You've done a great job! I'm like Corrie, I find it awfully hard to give things away.. I say keep it and make another!
Belinda very nice. Love the fabric
Love it! Fabric suits that style of bag perfectly.
Excellent choice of fabric to pattern - love bag, don't know how you can contemplate giving it away!
I love the bag Belinda, the fabric does match the pattern perfectly. I'd suggest keeping this one for yourself and making your sister another one ;)
I love it!
Feminine without being to girly girl :-) Brilliant Job!
The fabric looks great - as does the bag - I agree with Corrie - I think that the front pocket needs something!
I agree, keep it and make another for your sister. Do you have enough fabric for another one? Then you can both have matchy matchy bags :)
That's a great bag. And what your sister doesn't know won't hurt her will it? ;) Kidding....
