New bags made

Here are two bags that I made as Christmas gifts. They're made from 2 kitchen towels each. The outside has 2 large pockets front and back. The bag is very roomy but has no pockets inside so I made for each one, a purse organizer with a pocket size tissue holder and a fabric covered 3 x 5" notebook. There are 4 more pockets to hold additional items. I love having a purse organizer in my purse. Since I've been using one, I no longer have to dig to the bottom of my purse in search of something. I can find it in a pocket instead. This makes 3 of these bags that I've made but none for me so I think the next one may be for me.

Hand towel handbag

Hanging from the knobs on my cabinet doors is the little handbag that I made for my friend Jan's birthday. This is made from purchased purse handles and 2 kitchen towels. There are 4 large pockets on the outside (2 on the front and 2 on the back of the bag). The buttons are decorative only and help hold the little pleats at the top of each pocket. This is a very roomy handbag. It'll be great as a purse or as a bag to hold a craft project. It was quick and easy to do. A great little gift. I think I'll make a few more.
