Beautiful Red Tote Bag/Purse

Some of you might remember the Crafter's Dream Giveaway from a little while ago.  Is anyone curious what the winner chose?  She picked this cute red damask purse.  I am really happy how it turned out, I just hope that she likes it! 

A couple of sewing notes:

I used Simplicity Pattern 2396.

I added quilting batting to the handles.  I think this really helps and will do it again.

I did not add a button (again and for the same reasons as last time).
