Can you believe I made this on a home sewing machine!?! I guess stubborness can be the mother of ingenuity. What a brain-bender! I figured it out though and the resulting design is completely repeatable – hence, another forth-coming pattern. I can’t wait to get this one to print and show you how it goes together – I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. It's still going to be a couple of months before I print any patterns, though -- one woman show, you know. But, I'm too excited to keep the cat in the bag, so enjoy the early screening. Hmmm? – to carry or to hang on the wall? (Oh, and this purse has special powers… but, more on that later)
The fabrics are vintage feedsacks. I had meant to make Christmas decorations with them; check out these and these. But, when I pulled them for a baby dress (forthcoming) to go with these, I got caught up in their fabulousness and got to work on a purse pattern.
