Birthday Bag

Good Afternoon Folks.  Its really dull & cold in Scotland to-day, so I'm not planning on going anywhere but I am going to work in my crafty haven.  Yesterday I received a beautiful card & gift from my very dear friend. Anne R, who is known to most you.  One of my gifts was in this beautiful bag and after consulting with Anne she did not mind if made one using her design.  I needed a bag to hold perfume and this way I was able to create a bag of the perfect size. I'm sure you will love both bags and maybe another idea for you to try.  Got another few Birthday cards to make as an order from my best friend for next week, so I had better move on and get started.   Hope this finds you well and keeping warm in this chilly weather.  Hugs Rita xxx

Great bags love them both. Now that might just be one I will need to have a go at. Does your friend have a template or instructions for that?
Happy Crafting

Patricia, I did not have a template, only the bag Anne sent to me with her gift and I worked it out. If I get time this week-end I will do a quick tutorial. Hugs Rita xx
