Christmas purse

Catching up on some posts that I should have made!

I did share this on Instagram when I made it…well, after I gifted it.

I drew my sister-in-law’s name for Christmas this year, and I had noticed that her purse handle was hanging on by a pin. I asked her if she would like me to make her a new purse, and she said “Yes!”. I asked her what color leather and she chose brown leather.

I tried to keep it the same size, but it might be a little under the size she had.

I put 2 external pockets…one pops out of the front more than the other.

I lined it in my Celtic phoenix fabric I designed. I used it for the purse I made last year, so this was leftovers of the fabric.

The handles were inspired from a picture I found on Pinterest. I look on Pinterest often and just save interesting ways of adding on hardware.

I have also seen the zippers outlined with a contrasting color, so I gave that a go this time, too.

I added some of that leather to the handles and the zipper pull. It’s all about the little details!

She was pretty happy with it!
