my new purse

[madamemodiste]

I'm having trouble *not* sewing. I made a drawstring purse on Friday. Very bad of me!! I was supposed to be writing a paper!



This was made from "stash" fabric and trims. Black bengaline, white venise lace, black tassel, white taffeta lining. And it holds a lot! Yay! I can put my camera, makeup, and calling cards in this baby!

But I got a lot of work done on the paper yesterday. 7 pages done. yay! Now I have to finish it today to turn in tomorrow.

Ooo very nice stash! How I'd love to have Bengaline in my stash!

Very pretty! I love the lace. My reticule is basically the exact same bag (except done in a goldish tan matte satin) without the lace. The shape of the lace definitely adds something special. I'll have to keep that in mind the next time I make one.

I love it! The lace is gorgeous! Of course you need a matching gown :)!!

I just love your reticule. I am always inspired by your sewing projects.
