I finally got the chance to get it all together this weekend.
On the whole I found it fairly easy. It's really big for a purse for me, so I'll probably to a mini next-I do like the shape of it. I didn't bother to interface the inside pockets, and probably will use lighter interfacing on the handles for the next one. Otherwise, I like it!

This is lovely...I also don't like the weight of handles. I cut 2 strips of 1 1/4 " width of fusable fabric 987F .... iron handle wrong sides together.....then do second fold so you have 4 folds. I open the outside on both sides and fuse 1 strip to both end lengths. Is is sturdy but not so bulky. I also prefer a magnetic snap. Warning they are adictive to make. I also make a snappy bag of the same fabric.
