New Purse on the block!




I have a gigantic stash (like most of us do!) consisting of many things. Buttons, yarn, beads, lace, threads, FABRICS and more fabrics! I own a very large collection of sample fabrics (you know, squares and rectangles) which I acquired some time ago from a fabric rep and this purse was made from two of those pieces of "samples".

If you look really close you can see the free-motion embellishment around the "flower" looking (dark) design as I embellished those images with gold metallic thread (my FIRST attempt at this treatment).

I also added pockets to both sides of the lining (3 each side) so I have 6 pockets.... I LOVE inside pockets; one for sunglasses so they don't get scratched; one for cell phone (same reason) and one big one for monster keyring so IT doesn't scratch all the above! You get the picture...more pockets are "good", lol.

The beads and handles as well as the eyelash trim came from my stash as did the lining fabric.
