This is the newest addition to my handbag revamp project.
f you missed part one, please check it out and let me know what you think.
Since I’ve changed the handles, I would like to make some other changes to create a seamless look.
I thought I could add a strip to cover the front seam (going right down the middle of the bag) with the same fabric as the handles.
