A 'Thank You' Purse

A lovely lady gave me a heap of fabric swatches from her suppliers in India. Loads of embroidered silks and fine cottons, lace and sheers. All purse-size pieces and too good to waste. I made this embroidered silk purse as a small token of my immense gratitude.

I can't wait to try out a few more bridal/evening fabrics in the purse frame patterns I already have, and am REALLY INSPIRED to make a few new purse shapes.... but there are patterns to finish (that have been promised in a giveaway). Oh... and Christmas presents to make. Silk purses, perhaps?

    That looks gorgeous, Nikki! Definitely putting some of these on my to-do list (for the New Year though, there is no way I'll get any made before Christmas)! Thanks again for sharing some of the fabric.

I LOVE to read your comments and they brighten my day. I can't respond unless your profile has an email address attached, though... And some days I simply don't have time to respond.... but I respond in a telepathic sort of way to each and every comment.
