I made this from a very easy to follow YT Tutorial.  There are problems with the bag (interfacing not smooth, wobbly top stitching), but the shape is great IMO.

The handle was made from vinyl folded to the inside (like bias binding) and zigzagged.  Its a bit clumsy but I would use this method again but with a shorter stitch length.

It looks a good shape and proportion and I like the vinyl handles too, gives it a nice minimal vintage vibe I think. I've just got some rivet setters and anvil and am waiting with baited breath for my rivets to arrive - I'm getting somewhat over-excited perhaps, the first thing I thought was how good it'd look with a rivet!  ;)
Hopefully back more regularly! Ballroom sewing may be permanently paused but bag making is the current focus.
