hope and dream

A quickie post since I just got home from work, haven't eaten and men's ice skating is beginning or in progress. Just finished this bag earlier today but didn't have time to post it. A departure from my wrap around closures, this one I used a large black snap, invisibly reinforced on the opposite side, combined with free motion stitching on the wording, luscious leopard spotted carpetbag fabric on the body of the purse.

I LOVE this waffle weave muslin lining! It feels so good and is nice and sturdy-- hand dyed for vintage appeal.

Reverse side stitching with beautiful variegated threads and batiks. This bag is a bit larger than the other ones-- about 5 x 8". I have a spot reserved for showcase on Etsy coming up next week, so I am not sure if I want to list this now or wait to list multiple items at once on the showcase.

Skating is on! bye bye.
