...the final bag in the series.

In addition to being my favorite of all the bags, this was also a test run for a birthday gift.
(HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNY!)Jenny's bag had a little cursive "J" patch on it, and a way better loop-handle-thingy. See the embellishment on my handle? You might be thinking,
"Oh that Corrie, she's just so creative, adding that little star and lace there." Or maybe it's more like, "
Ew, that Corrie, she's always adding stuff like that star and lace and never knows when to leave well enough alone."
Well, that little addition is actually a cover job for some violent thread snipping that went awry. I was so annoyed turning that dang handle inside out that when I went to (frustratingly) cut the loose threads, I snipped right through the fabric, leaving a gaping hole. I wasn't about to spend
another 20 minutes turning
another handle inside out, so I patched it up right nice with some white cotton lace and a vintage star button.

I would say,
"and no one will ever know!" ...but now you do.
