TWO BEAUTIFUL HEART SHAPED BAGS
I made two dresses for a 5-yr old and thought
that it just deserved something more… so I made a headband and a little
removable flower .. and I wanted just one more thing.. so this special lil girl
got a pair of little bags too… after all, which little girl doesn’t want a cute
little bag, right?!

Both the cute little handbags are made from free
patterns, and except for a choice of colour and playing around with a few
beads, I’ve worked the pattern all the way.
I decided on the beads after I’d finished the bag, so I cheated, and
stuck them on with some lovely water-insoluble glue.
I also got my bag professionally lined with
satin, but I’ve given you links above on how to line the bags.
So enjoy these two free patterns for these
lovely bags.
