I made this make-up bag for my daughter. I asked her what color fabric she wanted and she asked if I had sheet music or other musical fabric. I showed her what I had and she chose this fabric. I asked her what she wanted for a lining, and she said she wanted red or a burgundy color. I decided to reduce the Companion Carpet Bag pattern to a size that would fit the metal frame I had to use for this. While the Companion Carpet Bag uses an internal metal frame, I had an external kisslock metal sew-on purse frame, so I knew I would need to adjust the pattern for the frame to the bag I was making. I gave this to my daughter for Christmas with a few make-up items inside some of the pockets.

I wanted to add a bit of color on the outside, so I sewed a red binding to the top of the pockets on each side of the bag. The red is the same fabric as the lining fabric. I did the reverse on the inside pockets by sewing the sheet music fabric binding on the top of the interior pockets. Makes it easier to find the pockets that way too! LOL!! I added a beaded charm on the side of the bag. The charm is a hear that says, "Made With Love".
