Sweet Pea Totes ~ Hobo Bag

This is another pattern from Sweet Pea Totes that can be purchased as a PDF EBook or through Simplicity as a printed pattern.


I used one of the built-in embroidery stitches on my machine for the handle, and my oldest daughter gave it as a birthday gift to one of her friends.


There is a second pattern for a wristlet clutch included in the Simplicity pattern, and I made one without the ruffle.  It made for a very quick project.

No doubt the birthday girl will be very happy to receive her bag. The stitching on the strap is a great addition.

I love how a simple bag goes from Plain Jane to Spectacular with the touch of a button on a sewing machine! What a great suggestion. I also love your choices for the fabrics - hip, chic and fun!

The stitching on the handle is a great idea. Perhaps a project for the future or as a gift.... :)

Wish I were the birthday girl! As everyone else, the stitching on the handle is just the perfect touch.

Both are really cute and both would make great gifts.
I'm vowing to do homemade gifts this year, either made by me or bought from others!
I've put a page on my blog with a linky in hopes that many will share home made posts and inspire me with lots of great ideas!
