This pattern is from Blue Sands Patterns and is called The Barbados Bag. I made the Blue Batik Purse to carry on the cruise ship during our vacation in November. It was perfect for the cruise; large roomy pockets, and a nice long strap to wear over my shoulder. I also made a blue batik wallet to match. It is definitely a summer purse, so I put it away once we got home.
I needed a new winter purse so I decided to make the same pattern in this pink and black fabric. I love the looks of it, and I get compliments on it everywhere I go. I made two wallets to carry in this one. The main wallet is the pink and black harlequin fabric and the other one is the mottled pink I used for the strap. I made another one in purple to give my daughter Audrey for Christmas. I didn't get a picture of it because I was in a hurry to get it made and under the tree. Of course, she had to have a wallet to match, too. She seemed to like it. I haven't heard her say anything about it since I gave it to her.
I guess that is all the finishes I have for 2014. I have several other projects in the works and I will report those finishes when they happen.
