I just love this book! Borrowed it from the library this time, but I know that it will make it's way to me someday. There are probably 8 purses I wanted to make in this book. Better get started, yes? Image from Google I started with this purse named "Nancy". Pictured above with it's matching make-up bag. It's a '40s style purse, made of corduroy, with a rattan handle and felt flower appliques. I LOVE the lining fabric. It's this perfect little blue floral pattern and it matches the two shades of blue in the corduroy and felt perfectly. The instructions in the book were very easy to understand and had clear photographs to illustrate the construction of the purse. I highly reccomend this book for vintage fashion lovers! A dress in dark blue that would look great with this is on the list of projects to complete, so expect a photoshoot of that outfit.
