Sew & Tell Friday: Mom and Daughter Handbag Set

I was thrilled when one of my previous co-workers asked me to make this adorable set of mom and daughter-sized handbags. I mean seriously, how cute is that?!


I used this pattern by I Think Sew and copied the pattern at 70% for the mini bag. I think the mini bag is my favorite . . . it's just so darn cute! And I love the Amy Butler combo my customer chose. You just can't go wrong with Amy Butler!

I'm linking up to Amylouwho's Sew & Tell Friday. Be sure to check out all the other finishes!

Happy Friday!

    Those are so cute! I wanted to make my daughter a mini purse for Christmas as she's always trying to carry mine around. I think I totally have to do it now that I see how cute bags are in miniature.

    Great idea to make the pattern smaller. I like the mini bag too, and that truly is a fabulous fabric combo!

    That is so adorable. I don't think my 22 year old daughter would go for this look though.
