This is the perfect project to dress up or dress down.  Add your favorite embellishments, a little embroidery, beads, studs, crystals and you'll be going everywhere in style.  This bag also features purse feet and a firm bottom.  Add purchased handles or make your own, and create custom pockets inside to fit your needs.
