The Pie Purse

I have been fooling around learning patterns and my sewing machine and such. I am getting much better! I have been loving the pleated purses I see everywhere, that I decided to try one of my own design. I really wanted a fold on the front that has a bright piece of color peeking through.... (like a slice of pie, and, well, i'm jannypie) It also has two little side pleats on both front and back, just to give it that extra ruffly touch.





I also wanted to be a bit "daring" (for me anyway) and go completely without a handle. To go strapless, you might say. Holding it as a clutch is actually kind of fun!





It is made from fabrics from a thrift store, making it eco-friendly by re-using and recycling materials. Thoroughly washed and cleaned of course. This one has a snap button, but I think I may switch to a magnetic closure along the top, to help keep all my goodies in.




I am delighted with it, and am having so much fun carrying it around and receiving compliments!! Please tell me if you like it!
