Last year I joined DAR, Daughters of the American Revolution. I really enjoy it, genealogy has always been an interest of mine. My neighbor Chris was so helpful and supportive of me in this quest, so I wanted to make her a special Thank You gift.
I found this darling pattern at The Mother Huddle for the Little Betty Bag. Too cute. I had some left over fabric from a tote bag I made last year for the DAR auction. Very patriotic! The bag is more of a small evening bag, which is what I wanted. This way she can take it to State Conference and use at the formal nights!
So here are a few pics!
This is the front flap. I tried to center the print I also added seed beads to the print. Nothing like making it harder!
This will be the back.
Here it is all finished. I used a chain for the strap, and a magnetic closure.
Found these cute chain holders at JoAnn's. You can remove the chain if you want to use as a clutch. It is small and will hold a phone, cash and maybe a lipstick.
Here is a close up of the beading detail I added. Hope it isn't too hooky.
Have a great weekend all.
Toodles,.
Laura
