Cute Little Stirrup Purse

[ReneeCanady]

So I printed this pattern from TLL and it seems the light weight leather pattern was very off in it's sizing. I made it work, but I am betting I had to cut off atleast 2 inches of the thin leather to do so. If I didn't cut that off it just seemed like it would have been very bunched up on the bottom. I would have hated to have done all that work and then messed it up lol. I still need decide if I want a dye on it or not. The color shown is just oiled, and black background dye. However, this is my first time ever doublt loop stitching. The stitches were cake, but ending it was a bit of a pain for me.

It looks good. If it were me I think I would leave it the way it is. The dyed background shows up nicely.

Hi RC

Good Work!

That looks Really Nice to me and I like your lacing.

That is very similar to one that my brother made from a

Tandy kit over 50 years ago....

it is hard to say for sure, but maybe the extra leather

would have bunched at the top and not the bottom?

[ReneeCanady]

Thank you both! I think I am going to leave it the color is is, it's growing on me. As for the what I call the extra leather, it might have bunched up top better, but I was clamping it in place to test and found NO WAY that it would have worked for me. When all else fails....rig it lol. Your purse is VERY cute, I love it! I guess I am becoming more like the males in my family because when the "fix" things they too usually have extra parts haha.
