My Garden Party Wristlet


Oh how I am in love....

You know, I am the type of girl who loves big, slouchy bags. But that puts me in a dilemma whenever I wanna go out for lunch at the office or a girly girl gathering with my girlfriends, or a movie date with hubby, where I don't wanna lug all those junk in my big carry all....and now I've found the perfect solution.


It's another one of keykalou design. It's aptly named Garden Party Wristlet. Oh I love it! So girly yet modern. Just the perfect size for my mobile, small wallet and a lipstick.

However it is not the easiest bag to sew. I mean, it looks really like an easy one. But the round shape and fiddly elastic casing and gathers takes a lot of maneuvering. Most of the problem comes from the stiff sew in interfacing I used. But...since I love the design so much, I will sew another one, definitely.


The outer fabric is a sweet Heather Bailey Pop Garden Lime Sway print. I lined the inside with same green polkadot used for Aisha's coin purse. I purposely used contrasting pink thread for effect.


The bag doesn't have button or zipper, just the straps looped to close it. And I love that it comes with pretty bow detail. It completes the garden party theme look.


I love this one. So glad I made it. Just the thing to lift my spirit up.

Thanks for reading lovely peeps, have a creative day! **Hugs**

  1. cantiknya.. i think i'm going to make one- sbb kalo keluar i ditch my purse, my phone n hauskeys in plastic bag and ikat kat tangan je. so this would be very perfect for me yg mmg tak suka pakai handbag..

    sukalah.. :-)
