Red Ruffle Baguette

Who said you have to spend 300bucks on a luxury italian handmade bag where you can make one on your own for less than 20bucks. Mine was not made from special wool, didn't go through any quality control but it came out pretty darn good. Isn't she adorable. I finished this bag in one day flat, about six hours of knitting and two hours of sewing.

Pattern : My own and inspired by the rockin’ chicks at Zephyr Style
Yarn : 1 Hanks of Blue Sky Cotton in Shrimp
Needle : 4mm & 5.5mm Circular
Cost for this project: $15
Finished size fter blocking : Appro 6"x10.5"

I didn't forget to about the snap button closure this time. But did you see something odd about the lining. I have intended to sew the little pocket facing out but after I'm done with the side seams only I realized it was sewn at the wrong side. What a moron! Anyways, it's no big deal and I'm not going to stress about that. It was a fun quick little project that I really enjoy doing. The only thing I didn't like is the hand sewing part.
