wooden handle pattern purse

Purse from a Sue Spargo pattern, originally uploaded by roxieprov31.

This is a much bigger bag then it looks. It like a carpet bag. The center square is wool applique with button embellishments on the squares. The handles are wood and I stained them. It orignally calls for long material straps, but I liked the look of the wooden handles. I made pockets inside and a really nice label that you trace from the pattern, that you put your name and date on
