Second Chance Handbag

Today I finished the strap on my new handbag that was made from the scarf. I need to find a button for it and I want to see what i can do to make it practical. I want to make a lining with pockets and stuff for money, cell phone, etc. I think it would be nice if i could take it out when I'm going out for dinner or some event that I don't need to carry so many things. I was also pondering adding an outer pocket on the backside of the bag in the same knitted fabric. I want to make it a few inches smaller than the bag and I want to use rest of the scarf that still has knitting in it. Maybe I can try steeking. I have to see if I can use my sewing machine. That would be awesome.
