How beautiful! I need to make something like this for my youngest DD...she is so into reading lately (Divergent and all the sort of thing lol) always carrying a book around! Such a beautiful project! xo
Oh how I have neglected your gallery my friend!! This is absolutely beautiful, so elegant & understated. Love the vintage lace & hankie with the gorgeous embroidery ( & I don't really "do lacey"), the way you have used the lace on the corner there and how clever to make a bag?? Wish I could sew, you did such a great job! Oh and the handle doesn't look yellowy, just vintage. :)))
OH MY!!! YUMMY GOODIES!!! Love your idea of using a hat box for storage~~~ I need to work on mine, they're keep piling up inside a brown shopping bag LOL!! :D
WOW girlfriend, this is soooo pretty & creative! I love the hankie & lace, but that flower is GORGEOUS. I love how you made it & is beautiful on the bag!:)
A very pretty creation! I used to make a lot of hand and machine sewn crafts and loved it but it is too much trouble getting my sewing machine down to use it and having to put it back up every day. I would probably get back into it if I had my own crafting/sewing room. Maybe one day when we're empty nesters... :-)
So gorgeous. Love the use of the hanky. The lace really dresses the whole thing up. Everybody should have one of these. I could take my book out of my purse and carry this instead.
Aprox. 8"wX10"tall - my first handmade book bag~ The base is made from a heavy canvas. It is covered with a vintage lace handkerchief, lace net & a hanky rosette. The handle is also canvas; covered w/cotton lace on the 'top' side. Hmm.. the handle looks yellowy - but the lighting is bad; it does blend w/the purse really well:)
I hope to make a more 'lacier' one next time - but this was my prototype!! Machine and hand sewn; it was much easier than I thought it would be - - I even gave it a simple inside pocket~ The back is not decorated. THANK YOU!!! So much for stopping in!~
