Hello!

Thought I'd share my most favorite purse

the "pirate chest" purse I dreamt up :)

detail of strap

detail of "hasp"

and finally, what do you expect inside a pirate chest?
Oriental "silk" of course!



I should have interfaced the "lid" as it curls up when I wear it, and I really need to hand embroider around the "hasp" to give it more of a definition.  But I like it and am so excited that I found some woodgrain fabric to make this come to life (a co worker had some in her stash!)
