Purse #2 is DONE!

20170201_3245

Procrastination is a life skill that I am well acquainted with, so of course, I waited until the last minute to get this done.  I wanted to make sure it turned out nice, though, and I think I succeeded.

The leathers are both lambskin.  The royal blue is an embossed leather, so it has a design pressed into it.  The black is super soft.  So soft that I had to make sure I put some more industrious interfacing in the purse, so it didn’t collapse.  I added a foam interior so it would have some bulk to it.  The handle has webbing inside it, so it won’t stretch out.

I tried to pretty it up with some hardware choices on the rivets and gunmetal rings and snaps.

The interior is just a bottom-weight royal blue fabric.  I didn’t have anything fancy in my fabric stash.  The pocket is a sample I printed of one of my fabric designs, though.

A thoroughly one of a kind purse!  Hope it sells for a good price.

    1. Thanks, Mel! I have bought a lot of hardware over the last year or so, so when I make stuff I have it handy. I still end up buying more, though. 😉
