Purse: Yellow and Red Asian-themed Tote

written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post

This soft and fun purse is made out of fleece fabric with satin and and other ribbon accents. In colors of wheat, yellow, and rich red, this little tote is not only sturdy, but heavily detailed with accents and linings sewn by hand.

Both the front and back designs are similar, featuring a handy pocket that is perfect for a cell phone or any other item you want to access quickly. Satin and tulle ribbon, in pale yellow and cream, border the top of this pocket with a raw, frayed edge peaking from behind. The edge of the pocket is lined with decorative elements, including hand-stitched flowers. [view the front of the purse | view the back of the purse | view detail]

Inside
Inside the purse, you'll find a bright red lining with a pocket that curves across one side. The inner edge of the lining is graced with a satin and tulle ribbon, hand-stitched in place. [view inside of the purse]

Purse strap: The purse strap is made of red cotton fabric and an elegantly patterned satin ribbon. It is triple stitched for strength and visual appeal, and finished with a golden yellow seam edging.

Sides: The sides have a unique gathered appearance. [view detail of side | view detail of side]

This purse is completely unique, made without a pattern, never to be exactly recreated in either fabric or stitching. It is fully hand-made. By me.

Materials: Fleece, cotton, satin and grosgrain ribbon, polyester stuffing, glass beads, linen.
