Purses

While William was out of town this week I tackled some sewing, while I waited for paint to dry on the table. I thought it would be fun to have some purses in the shop for Mother's Day. I had some really fun fabric and ideas. Here they are: Pink and green toile with pink gingham lining.

This one was made from a tea towel. It has a red polka dot lining.

Pink and brown toile with a tan gingham lining.

This one was an idea I got from Alicia Paulson's book. It is hard to see, but they are strips of fabric layered and pleated on top of each other. I really liked how it turned out. This one is pink and brown.

Same idea but in black and white and with more pleats. This is the one I may have to keep for myself. It has a polka dot lining.

Here is a close-up of the layers and pleats.

They are in the shop . I have one more bag and a few other things I hope to add this weekend for Mother's Day. Oh, and shipping is free on additional items after you purchase the first one right now in the shop.
