  • 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.

  • 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.
