Purse


Well, I have made several purses now, but I keep neglecting to post them. Here is one I made for my mom using the "Bow Tucks" pattern. She picked the fabric without knowing where each piece would go. I think it turned out to be quite charming.


The inside has a nice retro flower design, many pockets and a stiff teal purse bottom.


This view shows off the little bows on the sides, which is where the "Bow Tucks" pattern gets its name. I did alter the pattern to make the handles longer on this purse because my mom hates having short-handled purses.

This photo shows some of the fancy stitching and quilting the purse has.



My mom also picked out this cool stone button.
