Deb's Purse

This was a long-over-due present for my aunt Deb. About eight years ago, I found this wonderful pattern called "The Bow-Tucks Purse". I tried it and fell in love with it. I asked my aunt if she wanted one, and she did, so we went out and picked fabric.

Somehow, I managed to make at least 8-10 more bow-tucks purses without ever doing this one. I even gave her one, but this fabric just sat.

So, eight years over due, I finally sat down and made it up for her,

I put ribbon along the inner pocket to make it pop a little.

Deb likes purses with long handles. I also played around with iridescent thread on the quilting. It makes for a rather playful accent.
