More red linen
I’m loving linen. Way back in this haul, I got a bunch of different colors and there was yards of it. I was, needless to say, delighted. I’ve been using the aqua here and there for awhile, but this red was recently rediscovered when I clean up my stash.
A new purse for me!
Made with this pattern. I modified it a bit – mostly in how I sewed on the handle strap. I included the handle in the step when you sew the lining and the outer shell together, rather then sewing it on at the end.
And that pretty patterned fabric?? A fat quarter that I got in the Sew, Mama, Sew! fat quarter swap. I love it with the red linen!
Happy weekend to you all!

Cute bag and fabric. I just printed this pattern off yesterday. I think it is calling my name.
Linen is so beautiful, but do you find it hard to work with?
Love love this bag! And I think it was a good idea to change up the strap, that way it should be more sturdy.

Alissa, did you have any problem printing the pattern? Fit to page made it ridiculously small and if I put it in Illustrator and try to move the page around to get the all picture is comes out really huge, any advice?
that print looks great with the red linen. cute cute cute!
Love what you did with the fabric! It looks great! The red linen looks perfect with it.
gorgeous! You inspired me to make one in linen too
I love the top stitching on the handle aswell and how you have sewn it in to the lining, nice and neat. Nova xxx
