Bag Days - Day 9

I completed this purse earlier this month. I was playing with variations in the purple stripes.

I used a single layer flower and found a lilac button in my stash to use as the center. I placed the flower smack dab in the middle of the top. 

I'm still trying to figure out the best method for the closure. So this time I made the loop a bit longer. It can wrap around the entire flower (see above). This way it's hidden behind the petals when the purse is closed. This works pretty well, but I'm not convinced it's the method I'll stick with. It's a little clumsy. Will little girl fingers be able to maneuver it easily?

The lining is this pretty purple night sky. It works quite well. Very sweet.

This may be the last of my Bag Days for a while. I'm crocheting the next version of this purse now, but it's going more slowly than usual. I have other crafts on my mind - and on the workshop table - now that the holidays are upon us.
