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.
