They have been sitting on my desk for a long time now, cut out, staring at me reproachfully, willing me to hurry up and put them together.  Lots of Puff purses!

Sadly, my stylist must have been unavailable when these were photographed, since they’re all a little squashed.  I thought you may like a peek at the lining fabrics.

They remind me a little of shells – maybe oysters?

Kirsty has just completed a beautiful version of this purse as well.  The pattern is by Nikki.  I’m keeping the brown Japanese cotton one for myself.  Mum bought me some fantastic little self-adhesive leather thimbles to help with sewing on all those tiny little beads – my fingers were much happier once I started using them.
