Rosette Handbag

 My Mom is spoiled :) She called me a couple of weeks ago and asked me to make her a new handbag. The one I made her a year ago is well worn and she requested another one just like it. I've been meaning to make myself a purse, but never seem to have time to sit down and do it. But it's so much easier to find time to make things for other people! Maybe because there isn't a guilt factor there. It's service and not selfish!
Someday I will make myself an upgrade to my diaper bag. And I will use fabric just like the ones I chose for my mom's purse.
Just not today.
The style is the same as the last one I made, but this time I didn't make a pocket on the front. Instead, I tried these fabric roses.

There are two pockets inside, one zippered. I think it turned out nice and hope she likes it as much as she like the other one!

That is really pretty, Brandy! I love the fabric and the flowers, too. Saydria put her scriptures in hers last night and her scriptures are pretty big for the purse. I told her that I'd put an order in for an actual scripture bag and that she could use that one for what it was made for!! :)
