A grown up purse for a change. This one is in 3 sizes with optional top stitching. The design is intended to use up scraps of fabric. The black one is for 130x180, the pink one 140x200 and the lovely purple one is for 160x260. The latter kindly tested for

Yet another purse - a koala this time by request.

Teddy bear purse. Last one for a while as I'm running out of ideas!

More purses - these are made in one hooping and take minutes to stitch out. I've enjoyed the challenge of making these work and I've got a few more ideas yet...

Yet another purse. Made ITH, fully lined with no raw edges. I'm quite chuffed with this one.

Here is a cat purse (as requested.) Made ITH in denim with a printed cotton lining. (No raw edges and in one hooping.) More animals may be on the way......

Yet another ITH zipped purse.
