Beautiful Bucket Bag


"This spacious bucket bag works well as an oversized handbag, a beach bag or even an overnight bag. You can add leather straps to give it a luxurious feel or make your own fabric straps to add to it. It's got a sturdy fabric base and is lined to ensure you get years of use from it."

This bucket bag style tote is charming although somewhat challenging for the beginner designation. The oval shaped bottom takes patience in pinning and sewing. Fabric straps can be substituted for the leather ones and the tab over closure as pictured helps to keep the bag somewhat closed. The end result is an attractive tote, beach bag or oversized purse.
