yet ANOTHER purse
please allow me to bore you with the details of my latest purse, made for ~~me~~ by ~~me~~.
i love to hoard old upholstery samples. like, a lot. i can't get enough even though i have *ahem* several. i usually get them from the thrift store but i think i got this particular sample from freecycle.
it has been waiting to blossom into a bag and i chose today to work some sewing magic on it:
the upholstery sample was called "jumbo tulips". it's a nice cotton duck silkscreened with huge silver tulips. can you imagine a set of curtains with this fabric?
::sigh:: those 80's designers.
i LOVED it from the moment i saw it and have been waiting patiently for the opportune moment to work with it. i wanted a really *comfortable* purse. one that felt comfortable to carry, could carry an elephant and was cute. and it had to use grommets in some form. GIANT grommets.
here are some more pictures ::she says obnoxiously:: :
