Purse: The Green Cat.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 1 comments link this post
This purse has a story to tell. At least, that's how it appears. What's going on with the green cat?
Front: The front of the purse shows off the vintage necktie I've used for both the closure strap (velcro closure) and the purse strap. Two signature Lone Prairie cartoon characters (one with a velvet tie, both with cotton flannel suits) seem to be having some kind of interaction over a green cat. [view front of purse]. The shirt of the fellow with the cat is made from a small piece of antique fabric my grandmother had made into a dress. The stitching has been used as it's own art line work. [view front detail]
Back: The back of the purse [view back of purse] shows the green cat, this time in his own suit. [view detail of back] There are subtle hearts sewn into the fabric, too. The cat's mouth is a pocket, and could house your cell phone.
Inside: The inside of the purse is lined with an antique pink cotton, making use of the frayed ribbon edge and combining it with a dark peach-colored strip of cotton facing. There's a long pocket, divided in two, that covers one side of the interior. [view inside] The lining was hand-sewn into the purse to ensure a snug and tidy fit.
Detailing: The side of the purse has a long pocket, perfect for pens or a cell phone. [view side pocket]
This purse is completely unique, made without a pattern, never to be exactly recreated in either fabric or stitching. Its characters are the unique Lone Prairie characters found only here. It is fully hand-made. By me.
Materials: Fleece, cotton, satin-like material, linen, necktie.
Size: roughly 10" high, 12" wide, 3" deep
Other: Spot wash. Do not machine wash.
Price: SOLD
Labels: accesories, plushies, purse
