Christmas Gifts #2: Purse


Made this little felt purse for Sophie.  She giggled as she carried it around on her shoulder.   So cute!  Just cut out the front piece and blanket-stitched a flower on, made the back piece a little longer to allow for the flap.  Made a 2 1/2 inch-strip for the side.  (Actually I made each of these pieces double thickness for extra strength and firmness.)  Used a 3-inch strip to make a handle by doubling the sides into the middle, folding in half and stitching on the machine.  Blanket stitched everything together.  Used velcro to make it stay shut.  Filled it with things every lady needs like chapstick, a phone, a tablet, a book.   Ha!
