A rainy sunday with comfort food and some relaxing sewing with my friend danielle, led to the creation of this lovely patchwork drawstring. A lovely autumn colour purse. Having a bit of a button crazy day and 3 lovely button bracelets were made with ribbon and by layers the buttons on some stretch nylon.

As it was a typical raining sunday afternoon, i got the crafting bug and made a selection of simple felted purses. My love of all that is black and white came out again on the button one, and infact i think this is my favourite of the three. An eventful morning at JTF buying ribbon also insipired me to make ribbons the focus of all my purse embelishments.

Heres a pretty colourful purse i made for friends present. I used patchwork strips with interfacing and and a black lining, its quite a sturdy little pouch due to interfacing the lining and outer patch work, topped off with a little fabric mushroom and a button…ahhh buttons my fave!!

ok so this time using the kristin pattern i extended the bottom for more depth and gave the patchwork a miss and found this really quick to make, it has no fastening as such but i am working on a ribbon and toggle idea. i took the mushrooms further and added beads and shells, will post a closer up photo of these shortly.

This was my first attempt at kristin la flamme gorgeous sweet sac pattern. The patchwork took a while as it was my first time however after a couple of goes i found it all a lot speedier.

I think this bag from etsy is so inspirational, the colours are so inviting and as soon as i saw it my mind was buzzing with ideas for my own work, the crocheted toadstool really tops it off beautifully and i am only sad that i have had this picture some time now and can no longer find the creator to pay thanks for creating such a visually stimulating bag!

I found this wonderful tutorial for a lovely bag whilst browsing the purse project http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=32204.0
A very easy bag to make and can be knocked up using scraps left over, i chose some vintage buttons (god bless mum for keeping everything) and a cute little material mushroom (thanks to kristin la flamme) as i saw these on one of her sweet handbags, of which i have made a few, more to follow.
