finally after many months my bag is ready. well ready ….. i do not want to line it, but actually it is really necessary to do.
the bag has a square bottom and for the handles i made tunnels. to close the bag, i have created two button closures. when the bag is full of goodies, then it is possible to unfold the first closure and then an additional buttonhole can be used (see photos below).
if I’m honest, i like the bag but it is not really my thing, for me that is one reason to make another bag… some day. maybe with this bag i can make someone else happy.
here are some pictures for you to look at, unfortunately the brown color does not look very well on the photos.
have a great weekend!

It is a very pretty bag!I am also busy with a square bag, but larger, to use for wool/project stashing – don’t know yet how to make the handles, though…will make up a plan when I get there…

I love the design of your bag. It looks really chic, but practical too.

Both color and design look very chic!And well, lining is also not my favorite thing to do, but it finishes the bag. The final touch.Wait until you have lots of time and nothing else to do.Have a good weekend!

Well done! I agree it would make a great carry-all or project travel bag. I have a pile of them sitting around to grab. Hope you at least enjoyed making it!

Would it work as a project bag or as a storage bag for stash? If you lined it with a thick enough fabric you wouldn’t have to worry about needles poking through.
