I love the design of this bag and it was great fun to make. It is called a 'fat bottomed bag' because it is deceptively spacious and you'll be amazed at how much you can carry (don't we carry a lot and sometimes for others too - toys, wallets, keys, etc, etc.) With this bag you can carry lots and still look stylish at the same time!

I have used a beautiful variegated acrylic yarn in stunning shades of purples and greens and added a 7.5cm (3") wide length of ivory coloured lace along the top edge to add interest. I've also added a knitted lilac flower and strands of green crocheted leaves to complete the look. The lining is hand stitched in place and is a purple and white thin striped cotton fabric.

The whole design is finished off with wood effect circular handles which are easy to hold or to slip your arm through.

This is a very versatile bag which is suitable for day and evening use and is equally suitable for everyday shopping or going out to a special event.

Approximate measurements excluding handles: 28cms x 43cms (11" x 17")
