Wanna see my pursey?

Yay! I finally finished my purse a la wildpurple out of granny squares. Ch-ch-check out the


Here it is in all its glory! Yes, that is a combo of tangerine/cream/fudge brown. The flowers are actually really itchy wool I got from my gramma's closet. Same for the pearly buttons...they came from an old sweater that the cats peed on. The strap is the length that makes it sort of a "hobo bag" and perfect for tucking under my arm whilst shopping.


I was gonna use a sewing machine for the liner, but I changed my mind and sewed it by hand so it would look all funky. The lining itself was some remnant cotton muslin, sewed with the yarn.

Obviously, it took me longer than hers and looks kinda shaky...but she's a professional! I wanted to finish it sooner, but I've only been able to work on it after the store closes. :p Hope ya'll like it! I was thinking of doing some in a maroon and white motif to sell in a consignment shop here, but if I do that, I'm NOT hand-sewing the liner unless I'm getting a decent price!
