Evening Tote Reviewed by rosalie norville on 2009-01-15
I made this the first time following the directions given. It came out very well and I was pleased. The directions were easy enough to follow. The second time I made it larger and did not use the fur. I did lined the bag and gave it a sturdy bottom using plastic that I covered in fabric . I used the same fabric that I lined the bag with. I also added a zipper to the top. It is adorable and I will make it again after receiving several compliments on it while out and about.Rose N.
