Ooh, this bag is drop dead gorgeous! Its great to see that Victorian Crazy Patch is making a comeback- and hand stitching at that. Machines may be versatile but they are not as versatile as one's fingers and not everyone can afford a state of the art embroidery machine. Everyone has fingers, though.
