Purses
So if your my facebook friend you know I've made some purses with fabric crochet. Today I got it together to line 3 more. My goal is to get the rest of my stash that needs to be lined before the end of May. I have five more. I should be able to do it. I plan to sale them in July.
I have joined two boards on Ravelry. Its been a very very long time since I joined anything. But there into crocheting, and crafting, and its been fun...even if I only finally bit the bullet two days ago and actually posted.
So my first purse is made of Tarn. Other wise known as recycled t-shirt fabric.
This is a little girls purse, with a small lavendar recyled pocket on the outside. The color is wonky on it because I took it inside.
The next is a black and white polka-dot purse made out of very fine material. Its quite light weight. The pocket on it is black jeans, and the embellishment is a brooch I found at a thrift store for $1.25. The lining on that one was a booger for some reason. I had to undo about half of it, and resew it. (All done by hand.) I was not happy, but it looks very good, so it was worth it.
The last one's handle is actually a macrame belt that my sister Brittany gave to Zeria. Zeria didn't want it so I rescued it.The pocket is once again a pocket from a pair of dead jeans.
I thought they all three turned out nice.

You do good work, kiddo.
Glad to see you back posting on xanga. Missed hearing the adventures of you and your family. What clever little purses, hope they sell well. What a wonderful way to recycle throw-aways and make something beautiful. You are so talented. Good work.
