DIY wedding clutch handbag: part 3 - sewing handbag body

now came the tricky part... making use of my limited but nice vintage kimono fabric... i have chosen the small piece with the deep purple flower detail...
and sewed several pieces together, big enough to wrap up the inner plastic bag casing...
sewing was done at snail pace, with pins, more pins and more pins...
more pins again
i also bought "backing" to hold the fabic's shape abit better...
i sewed the backing on to the kimono fabric... the whole thing became stiffer and more managable in draping onto the plastic bag casing
the main body was done...
what was to do with the sides? i needed some soft angles...
so i pinned it as folds on the sides
not bad...
and i made it final by sewing in the "handle rings"...
