This is my first project that I'm pleased with, that I think actually turned out pretty well. It's simple but I'm happy with it. It's all handstitched. Unfortunately I didn't take a bunch of good pics before I gave it to my aunt.

That's really nice. How long would someone need to be in the practice to pull something simple and elegant like this off?

I dunno about time wise but I only made 2 wallets and 2 basic tote bags before I tried this. Granted there was a bit of trial and error involved where I'd make a mistake and have to recut a piece etc on those first bags. Good learning experience though! I don't think you need a ton of practice to make something like this. Just take it slow and make sure you have all the pieces cut out properly before you start sewing. This was made from a free pattern I found online if you'd like the link.

I'd love the pattern. I've only made a coin purse but that is something I liked about it -- it takes time and patience

I'm so sorry! I hadn't checked my inbox for a while obviously. Here's that pattern if you're still interested.
