My little red bag

Hi everyone, I have made a copy of the Valentine giveaway for myself and decided to make this little bag to store my Valentine smalls in, the inspiration for this bag came from Martha Stewart's website here 

I did alter the design and finish but at least you can see the basic tutorial.

Happy stitching, until next time!

Another lady asked me where I got the ''made with love'' metal tags, they were purchased from Threadbear here
