I wanted a purse.
It ended up more like a bag.
So I am calling it a "burse".
I winged it because I didn't have a pattern...
so please do not judge. I know that can be hard, but just try. ;-)
(oh, I know you wouldn't do that!)
I used embroidery floss to add a few details and crocheted a bow.
The strap ended up being too long so I added the two knots to shorten it up.
As you can see here, I already have a very cute bag (thanks to my awesome friend Annie!). I didn't need another one!
Right now I am using it for all my yarn and crochet projects. It helps keep me from having yarn everywhere and I can even take it in the car with me when we are traveling!
So now I have another bag or burse...hmmm...what should I do with it.
This stripe fabric is the inside of the pockets.
This is the fabric inside the burse.
Does it look too "kiddish" for a 30ish mom?
nahhhh. Wear it with confidence that you are still young and can get away with carrying it.
ReplyDeleteJust don't put it on your head and wear it for a hat, The "Red Hat" ladies would be jealous. LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd I also like the name Burse. Maybe it'll catch on.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely won't be wearing it as a hat! lol!
ReplyDeleteIt's soo cute you can never have too many burses. I love the blanket stitch around the edges.
ReplyDeleteThank you sweet Annie!
ReplyDeleteThe last purse I tried to make ended up a burse too. the handle is way too long the opening is way too small and the bag part is way too big. But I dont have any more material to do anything about it. Oh well...
ReplyDeleteOh no! We shall try again!!!
