Bending the rules

Ok, so, from a post a few weeks ago, I am not allowed to begin a new purse/bag/tote sewing project until I finish the Tea Clutch I started two years ago.
I didn't say anything about "paper" purses!


My co-worker was admiring the paper Hermés bag on my desk the other day, and I wanted to make one for her. She likes orange and I happened to have a design she would like.

Cute, huh?



The details with the folds and faux straps add a nice touch.
