My First Fulled Handbag!

[Frangipani]

I did it! Finally! Here is my bag. I didn't use a pattern so I am quite pleased with the result!! Here is a before and 2 after pics (showing how much the bag shrank and how it looked completely finished). What do you think?

 

BEFORE:

 

AFTER: (overlaying strings show how much shrinkage there was)

 

COMPLETED: (with straps and shaped)

Beautiful Bag!!! How did you attach the handles?

[Frangipani]

thanks. I had made four small holes in the top of the bag where I wanted the handles to go by skipping 2 sts and ch 2 over it . After it came out of the wash I was able to pull the handles through the holes and they were a perfect fit!
