Based on the original Millie Fleur from my handbag line, this new sewing pattern is updated a bit. Now it's fully reversible. It's also easy to sew with a drawstring closure. This pattern will be available early May. Featured here in my Paris Apartment fabric line from Lecien.
Edit (7:20PM): My sister just pointed out that it was the day of my grandma Millie's birthday. This bag is named for her. I knew it was her birthday when I wrote a check this morning, but it didn't occur to me until my sister said something on about it on Facebook. Oddly, I felt driven to post this today. I finished the sample late last night and spent the day photographing. Happy birthday, Grandma. You must be watching down from above.
It even has a pretty back side with a sweet pleated pocket:
And you get two bags for one with it's reverse side.
Super cute! Can't wait to make it!!!

Fully reversible??? That is so fantastic! Just lovely, and it looks like a really nice size.

I really like this bag. It's one handle, my favorite. Love the pocket outside too.

Love the bag, one handle is my favorite and there's not enough avail. Would make the outside pocket too. Will use your Paris Apartment fabric.

My Grandmother's nick name was Millie, it was short for Amelia. Love the bag and the fact that it is fully reversible. Thank you for showing us.
