A Custom Dragster


A few weeks ago, Elise emailed me about a custom purse order. She and her sister had seen my Dragster design on an iPhone / Gadget Pouch at Little Shop Of in Carnegie, which they loved, but they were looking for a purse to hold change and ATM cards.

So, I ordered a custom piece of fabric, and a nice new gleaming purse frame, and used Nikki's  150mm Purse Frame Pattern to make a custom Dragster purse.


I made an addition of some nice sturdy card pockets on the insides.

I really love how this one turned out!

    Love it - it's a great practical size, adore the grey & white dragster with the surprise blue on the inside. Brilliant!

    Thankyou so much Cam!!
    My sister Erin absolutely loves it!!! She has been showing it off to everyone, on the weekend walking around the city I asked her if she wanted to put it in my bag so she didn't have to carry it... And she said "Nope, I want to carry it, it makes me happy!"
    Win!!
