A cute flower handbag

I saw this cute purse pattern on Better Homes and Garden's website. I thought, "I could do this!" So I went on the hunt for two 20X28 dishtowels. I never found any that I liked enough to buy. So yesterday I went to Wal-mart and bought a yard of fabric on black and a yard of black and white flowers. The pattern calls for wool flowers, but I decided to go with a fake black rose instead. Following pattern was pretty simple. And I must say, my bag turned out really cute! (this picture is not the purse I made. I will post the picture of the one I made later...)

Here is the website to find the instructions:

What you will need:
(2) 20X28 dishtowels or (2) pieces of fabric of the same measurements
(1) decorative embellishment- a fake flower looks great.
thread
(1) set of purse handles (the only place I found that had them was Joann's)
