add suitable fabrics...
and make it your own.
As I didn't have suitable ric rac or lace for my bright fabrics I just used binding for decoration.
No buckle - just use a band of fabric and a button on the handle.
I actually used two buttons like the pattern to attach the two ends of the handle!
I am very happy with this bag and it is quite a good size, I'll take it to work this afternoon for a test drive.
Pattern from Handmade Vol 24 No 9 - Ready for Afternoon Tea by Ann Francene Dimmer.
I did of course alter the method of construction to obtain a cleaner finish on the bag, with the only hand sewing being the buttons.
The sun is shining outside and I have walked by the beach, not silly enough to go in like some.
Hope your week is off to a great start.

What a great bag, Mistea! Love the colour combination. It looks nice and roomy without the risk of you breaking your shoulder from the weight of all the things you could fit in.
