Sewing for me: New purse (Part 2)


I did it! Not only did I design my own purse and draw it out, I actually sewed it all together and finished it and it worked! (happy dance).

It was actually finished a few months ago and I've been using it constantly since then so I consider it a success. Its a little wonky, but that's OK; it's functional and that's the most important part.

So now for a deluge of photos during construction.
