UPDATE! Here is the bigger version. Unfortunately the new Kam Snaps which the postman brought today, are not long pronged so these popped off as soon as I unfastened it from round my wrist. Glad I only risked one! I wondered if it was possib

This zipped purse has a secret inside - a collection of useful pockets. It is made in two hoopings, (as the back is quilted as well as the front), has no raw edges inside and needs just a tiny bit of hand sewing to finish it off. Mine is made in chambr

ITH zipped strip and flip patchwork purses. I had so many nice comments about the purse I showed last week that I decided to develop the design. It now has an optional strip and flip back and comes in three sizes. It is fully lined with no raw edges or v

These two purses originally appeared in DBC but Yoriko persuaded me to hunt them out and update them. They are now fully lined with no raw edges inside and a little bit bigger that the originals to make them more useful. Hope you like them!

ITH Fox purse -fully lined no raw edges. Testing this design was the first thing I did when I collected my machine from the doctors!

Zipped purse (my own) with vintage sewing design from Urban Threads. Just for fun! I made the second one using the test stitchout I had made of the design. It is a bit bigger but squarer - I had to adjust the purse design to fit!

This design came about because I had 4 new music fabrics to play with. I made the larger one (200mm square hoop) first and cut rectangles of fabric from the fat quartersto make the wedge shapes. The trimmings were big enough to make the smaller one! (130m

Purse with a zip in the top, no visible stitching or raw edges made ITH with just a tiny bit of straight hand sewing to finish off. I think I'm just about there! (Middle picture is the inside,)

This is a prototype for an ITH purse made fully lined (no visible raw edges) with the zip in the top. Now I have proved to myself it is possible, I will start refining the technique.

These purses are made ITH, fully lined, with no raw edges inside. The flaps are made by strip and flip. The animal print one was made in my 200mm square hoop and is big enough for me to use as an over-body bag. The bright one was made in 140mm square. The

Another wrap around purse - a snake was suggested so here he is! I've lined this one with the snakeskin print. The design is now up on Yoriko's site.

This is the latest bubble off my think tank. I don't know why I didn't think of it before. It is a good fit for a compact camera. Made in one hooping, fully lined with no raw edges inside. Really quick to make as well!

Last purse for a while - I fancy a change!

Froggy went a courting.... I've just realised that these purses are just right to use as a compact camera case.

Latest purse design- Yoriko tells me that they are still popular so I can't resist! This one is fastened with Velcro although I'm afraid it has to be stitched on by hand.
