Mini bag,

Have finally taken my self together and started to make some handwork again besides study. To embroider it is easy that way, since I could read in the same time. At least now I feel again better and have got some energy back. Little me, in my own little world.

The small bag is good to use when you are going out to dinner or theatre and want to take a phone and wallet and lip gloss just with you ;)

This small bag misses just something to close and when it is ready to be used, but since it was first time for me to try, when I made some mistakes, what next time I believe, can be avoid ;) We learn from our mistakes. and as I told, it was first time to make as well ;)

Pattern comes from Pfaff. Embroidery card 452 " Handbags and More".As it can be seen - more opportunities to do, when just only this one :)
