All those little beads took forever to sew on!
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.
They are absolutely charming. I love the prints you used for the outers and linings …. and wow, look all those teensy bead you have sewn on! (I would need my super-dooper-strength spectacles to be able focus on those).
Those are so cute!!!! I haven’t the patience for beads. LOL
You did a great job. LOVE the fabrics. I see a few familiar ones again!
Yes – beads…. best to just relax into it. I look at it as a form of meditation. I don’t sit still often.
You did a lovely job with them! It must’ve taken so much patience to complete all that beading.
Beautiful! Amazing purses! You did a wonderful job! 🙂
looking great. I am sure the recipients will be very happy and lovely fabrics.
Gorgeous! Now I know I misjudged my seams. Your purses are lovely & I bet you didn’t swear as much as me.
So cute!
I have a borderline unnatural attatchment to ball-clasp purses.
I think you’re insane with all that beading, but to be honest I’d probably end up beading them too.
I love the purses. The photo with them open reminded me of frogs!
Love Love Love them – so cute
The open ones look like hungry little baby birds! As for sewing on all those beads? I’ve only completed one side of my Tear Drop! I’m still carrying it around and I really do hope to finish the other side someday. I believe I’ll just back stitch then next one with some coordinating thread or floss.
beading is that extra level of commitment to a project – and clearly here it had paid off in spades. all of the purses look so incredibly beautiful, and the linings… mmmmm. i would have serious trouble if you asked me to pick just one for myself – i would like them all!
Oooooh I love the green floral one. Is it for sale???????????????
Oh these are so lovely! They look like they are all a bit hungry and opening their little mouths for some goodies! Or perhaps they are singing a happy song!
