It's been a little while since I have posted anything. Alas, the hand sewing of my 18th Century petticoat is making slow but steady progress. I have a habit of going off on a tangent in the middle of a project, I've tried to not do this but I find that if I have an idea it's best to just go with it and come back to whatever I was doing afterwards. So, here's the handbag I had an unstoppable urge to made.
The handbag itself is pretty simple and quick to assemble. It's lined and it has a middle layer of foamy type fabric to give it extra stability. It took somewhere around twelve hours to make, most of that time was taken up with the embellishing.

The design and construction need a few tweaks here and there but I'm very happy with it.
