farns005 Report post Posted July 1, 2018 This is my first purse with a zipper. Modified from a Don Gonzales pattern. Thanks for all the great ideas I have picked up on this forum. Kelly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DJole Report post Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) The blue fringes are surprising touch of whimsy-- a nice idea! Can you do a closeup on that tooled flap? Western floral isn't my thing, but I still love to look at and learn from good tooling, no matter the style.

LederRudi Report post Posted July 2, 2018 Great tooling! Audacious choice of colors … looks gorgeous! If you don't mind me nitpicking... I've never done any buckstitching but I assume that slits that weren't angled but right ON the guideline, would produce pointed stitches that would look even better.

shedhunter Report post Posted August 7, 2018 Really nice purse. I wish I knew how to put a zipper in. Can I see what your purse looks like from the top? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
farns005 Report post Posted August 11, 2018 Shedhunter would take picture, but purse has moved out of state. Great video on Don Gonzalez YouTube that explains in detail. Good luck Kelly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
