Buttercup bag

I've had a Buttercup bag on my to-do list for a while and I finally got around to making one.  I chose a linen fabric from my stash, linen may not be the best choice for a bag such as this but I liked the print.  I fused some interfacing to the outer fabric to make it stiffer, so that it holds its shape better.  It's a little on the small side, so I've now got my eye on this pleated purse pattern, which looks a little bigger.

Anyone wondering what the red prop is in the background?  Stay tuned to find out!
