I found this cotton poly fabric at the thrift store and thought that would make a great bag. I liked the blue abstract pattern at the top which was different than the rest.
Cut the outer fabric, flannel padding and the ivory lining cotton poly fabric to 9 x 12 inches. Quilted the outer fabric to the padding with a wavy decorative stitch. Sewed both side seams on both pieces. Managed to cut handles 3 x 12 inches with similar pattern. Folded both edges in then again in half to make .75 inch wide handles. Top stitched left and right edges with ivory thread.
Placed the handles 3 inches from the edge and pinned, added the elastic on the back piece and tacked those down with a bit of stitching and checked their orientation o make sure I got it right. Then pinned the two pieces together and sewing the top seam leaving a gap to turn out the piece. Back to flat elastic.
Top stitched the top edge to close the gap and finish the edge.
Added a vintage button just the right color.
