I made this one for my oldest niece...she's 14. It has the beaded fuzzy fringe around the top and then across the top of the pocket too. It will have a velcro closure as soon as I get back into town to get some! LOL

You are so talented Martha! I think you are doing an amazing job with these homemade gifts.

That is so good!

Very pretty Martha!

Did you have a pattern for all these purses, or did you just freehand? They are so adorable! I do embroidery work too, so I was thinking of making some for gifts and putting initials on them.

No pattern, just free hand. I sooooo wish I had someone nearby that I knew had the embroidery machine. My aunt has one, but she lives an hour away.

These are so super easy....this one was really easy because the quilted material was double sided...so I didn't have to line it.

Thank you, Stephanie!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE doing these...it's almost therapeutic! I'm still a little apprehensive about Christmas, though...I hope everyone likes their gifts.

I'm sure they will love them....you're gifts that you've made are so cute

Both of your purses are adorable! That makes me wish that I knew how to sew and make stuff like that! I am sure that they will be a hit!
