It was my younger sisters birthday on Sunday, and she'd requested a Ray's Tent City voucher as a pressie.I'd been meaning to make her a purse since I did Nikki's purse frame class last year, but I just never got around to it..... until last night.
I was just hammering the frame to finish it off at around 8 PM when there was a knock at the door.... and she walked in. Talk about perfect timing!

It's gorgeous! Love those colours and patterns, they work well together :)
I love the colours. Some of my favourite combinations :) How do you hammer your purse frames without marking them? Me and Crafty Librarian were reading the instructions a few weeks ago and were a bit confused :S This one looks great though!
I love the fabric you used!
I have a couple of purse frames, I've just never gotten around to making one yet, just how hard is it?
love the colour...and really good timing...
i bet she loved it...
every purse should have a polka dot lining
Great purse Cam. I've got one sitting there but haven't hammered it yet. How do you do yours?
Oww I love this! I have one of Nikki's kits sitting there to try when I have a moment to do things on my "important but nice" list! I am also a bit nervous about it! I was going to use this fabric - the black/purple bat fabric - http://alittlebitofkaos.blogspot.com/2008/12/kokka-bat-shoes.html
Yes I love my purse! And perfect purple colour, just what I like!! Thanks Curlypops....
Little Sister...x
The purse looks great! I have only dreamed of using metal frames; I can only imagine bad corners and fabric not staying where it should.
Woww..its beautiful :)
Mimi here,another crafty blogger.:)I am looking for a sewing machine..which would you recommend?And any pointers on whereI can find one?
How good is that purse!!!!
Are you making more for your shop?
cute purse! that's something I want to learn to make.
Mimi - I'm certainly not an expert but if you're just starting out then it may be worth just buying a cheap second hand machine (Janome / Elna) to learn the basics. I started out with an old Janome with nothing fancy, just straight / zig zag stitch. You can usually find them on Ebay for a reasonable price.
I'll bet she was thrilled!
what a cute little purse!
the colours of the 2 different fabrics go really well together. looks great :D
Adorable...it will be a hit for sure!
What a fab sister and what a fab purse!
There is an award over on my blog for you.
You've got to love a project that involves both the sewing machine and a hammer!
Such a lovely gift. The prints you used look fabulous - its a really pretty purse.
Fab, Cam! I'm glad your sister liked it, too!
