Designing New Purses

This week I had the fun of working with an upcoming designer, 

young Miss E.... 

We have been working together for several years now 

(actually since before her foot reached the pedal). 

Now she is on her own behind a sewing machine

 and developing quite a talent for putting fabrics together.

She is quite proud of the purse she just finished.

The bag is machine quilted to give it body 

and a serger was used to stitch and finish the seams.

It features a button closure and

an inside pocket.

(Is it a hint that the pocket is just the right size for a cell phone?)

And, here is our designer and busy stitcher modeling her creation.
