This shoulder bag has a generously gathered flap with a playful flair. The triangular silhouette gives it a solid feel, making it perfect as a going-out bag. The fabric used for this bag is echino’s [Mellow]. The thin and light cotton lawn fabric is dense and flexible, so it would be great to make a matching scarf with the bag.
