** Suesse Bag ** tutorial from Kristin LaFlamme

Recently I had to complete a purse project and found this adorable tutorial from;

Is anyone with me on this one? I will be picky about who I let sign up since I want this to be a QUALITY sewn project. No need to be perfect, but you must have a sewing machine and be confident you can produce a purse someone would be thrilled to receive.

If you have at least 15 type 3 (crafts and packages) swaps completed on your profile and a 4.9 or above score and fit the above mentioned criteria, please join in!

Sender's choice on fabric used as long as it is 100% cotton, but it would be a nice surprise for your partner to receive hers in her preferred colors.

You must use the pattern (diagram of dimensions provided on site but should be easy to replicate on say a paper grocery bag or freezer/newspaper) to make this purse. I plan to make the handles longer on mine unless my partner specifies she likes the 'under armpit' style.

• One more thing; the yo - yo embellishments are also up to you. Personally I can't decide if I prefer with or without! :)
