Black Paisley Purse

I made another one of these purses today. It’s the sixth one of these I’ve made, and I’m getting better and faster at it – not to say that I didn’t make a few mistakes, but nothing fatal. I learned something new today too – I finally figured out an easy way to sew the spots where the straps connect to the body. It took me about two hours of (interrupted) time to sew this purse from start to finish.

Both of these fabrics are cotton duck from Hancock fabrics. I like the weight for these casual handbags. Its hard to see on the lighter fabric, but its a yellow toile that is quite sweet.
