Bag of the Week 6

Heart Pouch

Here’s a fun little number to spice up your Valentine date outfit.  I created this whimsical little purse several years ago for a show that I was participating in, and it was the first thing to sell at my booth.  The purse is made from red coat-weight wool and is sewn in a simple pouch style.  The heart design is another from Kathleen Parman’s Herky Jerky line (you can read more about Kathleen’s work in my January 20th post).  I stitched the design on black fabric and then stitched the panel to the purse front using more Herky Jerky stitching.  I knit the eyelash I-cord from one strand each of black and red Fun Fur and created the strap from wool yarn using the Spinster.

Here’s another I created using the same design but different colors.
