Once again I left my camera at home when I went to my guild meeting, so you’ll have to go to Karen Cunagin’s website to taste the eye candy we got to enjoy. I did manage to get my wallet (with the $$ inside) into my tote bag so I was able to purchase these marvelous purse handles.
Handles like these could rescue even the most dreadfully dull handbag, but luckily I have something better in mind…
This is a purse I started some years back, made from silk dupioni with cotton batik folded flowers (from Rebecca Wat’s book, Fantastic Fabric Folding) and beaded and hand-quilted accents. I made up my own pattern as I went along so I wasn’t sure how I should finish it off and besides that, I didn’t have any handles inspiring enough to move me forward to completion.
I’m not crazy enough to add this project to my holiday to-do list, but I believe it would be a perfect new year’s project with a goal of finishing it by spring. It would make a great spring bag if I do say so myself. (^_^)
Cute bag and i love the handles!
Very pretty! and the thought of turning UFOs into cute purses and totes is a great idea (even though I know yours is not a block UFO).
I love love love the handles and the bag is very cute. just right for spring!
Okay, I’ve got to know what you have in mind for the other handle. Those handles are really neat.
What a bag — gorgeous handles!
I’ve made origami flowers from that book. It was so much fun. I did starch the heck out of the fabric first, though.
Love the bag and the handles are just right for it. Thanks for stopping by my blog and for the lovely comment.
Those are great handles, and you are right, they will look wonderful with the folded fabrics.
