new clutch purse in progress

I stumbled upon some new fabric last week, it looks like a soft leather but its fabric.  I knew that I was going to start a new purse from this fabric.  I decided to make a clutch purse similar to this,

This little beauty was recently sold from my kathisewnsew handmade boutique, and is on its way to its new owner.  I always get nervous between the time I send it and the time they receive it, what if they don't like it, what if it gets lost in the mail, I don't know why I do this because I have not had a bad experience.  I love this bag, I think its unique, interesting, pretty, and something no one else will have.  I've never been the type of person that followed what others do.  I really think this is why I started making purses for myself & I know there must be others out there that like to be there own person also.

Well, back to the new purse, its this style, but different colors.  So here is a sneak peek of whats to come.

This is the slow time consuming process, attaching and reinforcing the cord.  I do this stitching all by hand with heavy duty thread.  Its kinda funny but I love the hand sewing part, its a relaxing thing for me.

Well, my dishes are screaming at me so I'm off to do dishes and clean house, then hopefully do some more work on this purse.

Pretty, but can't sell.

I have been working on small projects lately because the last purse I made turned out to be one that can't be sold.  It sheds so bad, every time I sat down to work on it I ended up covered with purple fuzz.  The technique I tried didn't work out this time.  I like the look of it so I will try again, and I will try to correct the shedding problem.
so this is a pic of the purple and black wool fabric before
This next one is after layering and close rows of stitching then cutting


This one is that beautiful piece of purple with black wool fabric

And here it is 95 % finished.isn't it pretty.  I'm thinking of using it as a picture on my avatar just because its so pretty.  The beaded handle came from a string of beads from Grandma.
