This sassy bag can be made as a handbag or shoulder bag, with five flirty vertical ruffles for a feminine appeal. The vertical ruffles add a bold statement and add a sculptural quality to your bag. Binding off the ruffles in the main color or a contrasting one can add extra depth to your work. A split handle adds a little whimsy to this lovely purse.
