Lydia's "Lucy Purse"


Remember that cute little flower?
Lydia finished her purse, and added the flower to it. She mostly followed
the directions from Lucy of Attic 24.



We felt the top opening was too large on this one, so we did a little tie-up drawstring for decoration, and to pull together the top a bit.



I helped with the lining pattern, and she hand stitched it into the crochet.



Her friend Jenny recently had a birthday,
and Lydia knew she likes purses, and brown, and pink.



So, Lydia put all those things together with love and 2 weeks of stitching,
and this sweet "Lucy Purse" was complete!




I wanted to get this posted for Amy's Sew and Tell Friday. Please go see the other creative fun goings on this week!


Blessings,
Pokey

  6. I love the hat and the purse. I'm so glad you lined the hat because it made me realize that's what I need to do with a couple of mine--although given the heat of New Mexico, I'm thinking I'll use a very thin, light-weight cotton.
    Lydia must feel great about her work (and so will her friend).

  16. Hi Pokey, Hello again to you also..I use to crochet all the time but haven't done a thing for about 8 years when I made my daughter Cearle, 10 Christmas Afagans..I really like that purse design and the neat colors used...Good Idea lining as it helps to keep the shape...Hopefully I will be posting more frequently (I day once a month would be more frequently than I have been doing) Just a very, very busy time for me. Looking forward to more lovely things...Sue
