A very unique and beautiful handbag.
Beautiful use of Pendelton wool! Nice handbag, too! Cold here in South Central Alaska, but not too bad for this time of the year! Anything above zero is good! LOL. Stay warm and take care!View attachment 1278293
It is very cold and snowy here in south central Montana-a good day to get to this project I have been procrastinating on. The pattern (Gabrielle) is from Miss Freckles Designs The Pendelton wool piece came from Hometown Pendelton, hardware from My Handmade Space. There were some new challenges with the wool that I had to work out, but I got it finished. Hope it’s warmer where you live!

I never thought of it as an obsession, but that’s right on point! I just can’t seem to stop!Bag making is a newer obsession for me. I made a few styles in advance of a few craft fairs, and they were popular- I’ve been collecting more patterns and fabrics in anticipation of this year‘s fairs. Love the style and color of yours!
Thank you. I do love to knit and crochet, but not sure about stunning!It is beautiful bag if you can make this bag then your knitting must be stunning. Keep up,it gives boost to me.
I have never sewn real leather, I don’t think my domestic machine would handle it well, and I am really particular about how my top stitching looks. I do use a lot of “faux” leather, though, so maybe it would be about the same. Good luck with your project-would love to see pictures!I need your kind of determination, I have had a leather skin for 25 years waiting to be made into a bag.
Everything is there, all the hardware plus some gorgeous silk lining, just not the starting gun!
I have sold a fair amount, but marketing just doesn’t seem to be “in my wheelhouse” if you will. I do mostly custom work for a rather small circle of people. I am always intrigued by the requests. Mostly I just love the bag making process.Very nice work. Do you sell these beautiful bags?
I agree with sheherazade. Your bag is absolutely gorgeous and looks professionally done. I’m enviou.Absolutely gorgeous! Your bags are always so professionally done!
That is such a beautiful purse! 🤩View attachment 1278293
