After all the testing it was time to make my final year one assignment a handbag.
To recap it had to be a beautiful but also practical for every day use handbag. I intended to incorporate textured silk and stitching and two handles. It will have a smartphone pocket. After so much testing it becomes increasingly difficult to actually did the real thing for me , which is a bit bizarre.
Getting ready to start , fibre for all layers weighed out!

Hi Jane, the finished bag looks great, the stitching detail really brings the shapes to life. How did you create the 3 circles, they appear to be textured but not stitched?

Hi Teri The circles are cut out of prefelt and placed underneath the silk. The cut fibres then give a shadow effect on the surface. You can see the circles I used in one of the first photos. Jane
