My first lined bag

[to-my-wife.livejournal.com]

This bag is for a very dear friend who loves books as much as I do, and is half-Dutch so has an inherent love of Miffy :o)

I used an old Sarah Utter t-shirt (from Buy Olympia) that was too small for me, and some Miffy fabric I had in my cupboard. I based the design on a tote bag I made recently, the Jordy bag tutorial, and this super-helpful bag lining tutorial.

I have a small baby blue heart button I want to add onto the bag, but can't work out where. It might look better without it, I don't want to make it too young looking (despite the lining!).
