At last!

I have finally managed to sew a properly lined box bag with a handle and pull tabs and evryfink!! :oD
By properly i mean that all the raw edges are hidden away inbetween the two layers of fabrics and not taunting me from the inside of the bag ;o)
I just love this fabric, it's so cheery and i've been putting off getting some but i had a splurge at my recent visit to Thread Bear and bought a fat quarter and another toning FQ for the lining. I think it works rather well, shame about the non-matching zips but i had to work with what i had in stash...
I decided not to try any reverse applique on this purse as i couldn't decide what to do and i think the pattern is pretty enough on it's own so i did just did some diagonal "quilting" lines to hold the fabrics together, i also made zip ends for both bags as i think it looks a lot neater
My one mistake was that i have put the handle on the wrong end of the box bag! :o/

I have three pages of notes now so hopefully the whole process will be a bit quicker tomorrow, and i'll make sure the handle goes the right end this time!
