A Summer Bag

I was dying to hone my sewing skills, so I found this cute little handbag in the Summer 2011 issue of Quilts and More.

It was supereasy and I whipped it up in about an hour. All you need are two 21 inch squares of fabric (one for the outside and one for the lining) and some purse handles. The pattern and directions to create your own can be found for free here.
It would be a great first sewing project for anyone!
