Pink & Black Dainty Purse

As I was making this tiny treasure, I remembered the pink and black outfit my grandmother made me for one of my barbie dolls.  Pink and black always makes me think of my girlhood...and then I decided I am going to make a pink suit with black accents. 

I like this pink woven cotton, and the ric rac at the top is so sweet and retro looking.  My grandmother used ric rac on a lot of my doll's cloths.

I actually could replicate really easily the pink outfit my grandmother made for my barbie doll...this is going to be fun!!!!!  I'll take you on the adventure and post pictures!

Here Comes the Sun!

I just finished this large yellow cozy bag--and I'm in love with the colors and offbeat look.

I hand sewed a large vintage 80's piece of jewelry on the flap, and I was thrilled that it coordinated with the circles on the black cotton lining. The used yellow on the inside pocket to micmic the yellow fur (and it's also easier to see inside the pocket). The inky black handle and flap are made with faux suede--

I double or triple stitch all my seams in these large bags for extra durability, and of course, all the seams are nicely finished. This bag will truly be different in every way.

What a a fun, funky bag!

What's Black & white & read all over?

This bag!

This retro themed romantic cartoon fabric is so cool...I've made two bags with it so far. For some reason, I can show a woman a really dressy bag and one with this fabric, and this one wins hands down.

Check it out if you have time:

I finished it!

I am modelling my newly created very brightly colored dress, with the Purple Madness purse: http://www.etsy.com/listing/33657915/purple-madness-2-purse

The cotton-poly fabric has stretch to it, so it's cool and comfortable. I have enough fabric left for a sleeveless dress or short skirt, so email me if you're interested in a price quote.

By the way, I LOVE this dress!

Is this bright, or what?

I'm making a Summer dress with this fabric--I love the retro 60's feel of this fabric. The fabric has some stretch to it too, so it would be comfortable as a close fitting skirt or dress.

Of course, a matching purse with the purse or dress would be the finishing touch...the lining of the purse could be an intense pink or dramatic black.

Maybe use round handles on the purse? Black or bamboo? I'll let you know when it's complete!
