Here's a handbag/purse I just finished for inventory. It is made from Garment Lambskin with Ostrich Leg inlay that wraps around to the other side. The inside is also Garment Lambskin with a single pocket. It's more of an evening purse, that a regular day in day out version.

Funny thing about this purse...

I had stopped at a fabric store to check things out. I noticed a purse on the rack with this handle on it. The handles for sale were only silver and gold ones, so I asked the sales lady if it was possible to exchange out the black one for a silver one. She found another black one, then said to me, "Your going to need to buy the pattern for the purse now". I told her it was alright, as I will make my own pattern. She looked at me like I was some crazy old man, and walked away...

Let me know what you all think of this one...thanks

Nice work! That's quite the handle. Now you need to go show the lady at the fabric store what ya did. Then ask her to reach in the purse and snap it shut! Well I thought it was funny.

Thanks Spin, glad you like it. I am meaning to take it with me and show the lady next time I'm out on a shopping spree. Hopefully the store will be full of ladies.

I like the direction these bags are taking. Once you have the line complete they will stand out from the crowd. Good work.

Aurelie,

No it is not a special order, I just got the idea the other day while at that sewing store I purchased the handbag handle at. When the sales lady said "you'll need to buy a pattern now" somehow triggered something, and off my mind went....lol

The "Rainbow" is something I have only done once before using lace, and it is the one thing that I have always said since then that "I cannot do", but now....it's going to be, "Of course I can do that" whenever someone asks....
