"Chinese" Make-Up Bag

I found this great "Chinese" embroidered cotton in April this year in a little cottage town at a dollar store that has a whole bunch of ribbons and trims and laces, a virtual goldmine of inspiration. It took me awhile to get around to making something, but earlier this month I picked up some pink satin at my local Wal*Mart in the fabric department, and this was the end result. The interior is lined with a great darker pink cotton.

I think this bag would make a great travel case for make-up, and could even be used as a purse for a fancier occasion.
