And I finished another purse yesterday…

by Staff Writer

I promised my friend Stacy this purse over two years ago. Had all the fabrics and embellishments sitting happily in a bag waiting for inspiration to strike.

Well, it struck. Here’s her bag, complete with fabric transfers of her family as the centers of the crazy patches. :)

(Apologies for the fingerprints on the door in the picture… can you tell I live with preschoolers?)

Stacy and Darren

Ian, Aidan, and Dani

And the lining and pocket (and magnetic snap):

Lining and pocket

This is the “Isabella” purse from Barbara Randle’s book, but I wasn’t able to find it on her website. The dimensions are about 12″x5″x6″tall or so. It’s a pretty good size, and about the size of the purse that Stacy carries now (maybe a little shorter, but taller). There’s an acrylic bottom sewn into it so that it will keep its shape and not sag.
