Ok, now that I was able to make a clothesline purse, it is too 'young looking' for me. :(

I won't be making any more anytime too soon I will tell you that. :lol:

That is really cool! I'll have to add that to my verrrry long list

ss, I think it looks great! And you are NEVER too old for a great looking purse. Because of the colors I would use it in the spring & summer, but you could make interchangeable flowers and use it all year long!

Good job!

I would just take the flowers off altogether & leave it as is.

Great job!!!! I think you did good, I do agree that the flowers are what makes it look young

That is great! I tried to make one , and it was a mess. I thought is was so hard to get the needle through the clothesline.

Thanks. It looks too plain without the flowers.

I used cotton clothes line and it is still too stiff for me.

I agree you are never too old for a GREAT looking purse ! Use it and be proud :lol:

o you mean it's too young looking for you? I love it!!!

That looks great. Do you have to sew by hand or can you use machine?
I agree, take off the flowers, add a sash tied in a knot, and carry off to your next LQS spree.

Oh i love it!!! :)

I think it's cute as it can be! Where can a girl get a pattern? haha
Thanks

Never to old.....I think it's great....maybe you would be more comfortable without the flowers....wvdek's idea of a sash tied on is great...maybe a silk scarf or something...anyway, I would use it and I'm galloping toward 50 at a great rate.

I think it's a great looking purse. And very unusual.

too old ?????????? no way. your never too old for fun purses/totes. i love it. i thinks its awesome

I have never seen a clothes line purse you did a wonderful job but you are right not something I would be making alot of. My daughter has requested a purse of some sort under the christmas tree-so far all the patterns I have come across I don't care for and to make it harder I have some hard plastic handles I want to use for making her purse.
Great job.

Spectacular! I know the work that went into that beauty. My purse ended up being a 4" wide bowl! :D

That is so cute!!! What do you mean -- it's too "young" for you?? Looks perfect for any age! :D

Very Pretty!!! I love the additional flower embellishments :D :D :D

Humm, didn't think of that, good idea. Yes it is all done by machine with a zig zag stitch. You have to cut 1/2 wide strips and wind them around the clothesline (very time consuming).

Here's some instructions.

Yeah it's easier to make a round one than the oval. :lol:

I love it.

HEY THERE.....WE LADIES NEVER GET TOO OLD FOR SOMETHING BRIGHT AND PRETTY ---AND THAT BAG IS REALLY PRETTY AND BRIGHT.....SEND IT MY WAY IF YOU WANT TO GET REID OF IT (lol) GOOD WORK !

Great Job. sewnsewer! I love it. The suggestion for the black sash bow is perfect if you are feeling it is too young for you with the flowers. The girls at the local quilt store are going to be so jelous you changed it for the better.

That is so cute. Great job.

I love it! I love the colors too! :)

What do you mean it's too young looking? It's absolutly perfect! I bet if you took it to the senior center, the ladies would beg you to make one for them! It's beautiful and you did a wonderful job! Did it take very long?

It's pretty.

Just wondering - did it end up being kind of heavy to lug around?

I've gotten very weight conscious of purses - touchy shoulder and back.

No not too heavy, but it is stiff.

Did you do this with cording and wrapping it with torn strips? I did one as a basket but like this idea. Very cute!

I like it!! i don't think it's too "young" for ANYBODY! I picture it as a great take-along yarn bag when you crochet or knit.

you did a good job on that, even if you don't want to use it yourself. Somebody will enjoy it.
Was it hard to make?

I went to You Tube and typed in rope purse. Found a nice tut on making one that is lighter-made with cotton batting and folding the fabric over that then sewing. I'll see if I can find the link again. Forgot to do that last night. :oops:

OMG .............VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY NICE

COLORS IS PERFECT

that is the coolest bag i have ever seen!!!!

Unfortunately, i woul dnever be able to use something like that- all my bags HAVE to have pockets in them. thats just how it is and I dont see how you could attach any to that bag and make it look right. Oh Well!!! Fantasic Job!!!!

Thanks, no it didn't take long. I worked on it for 2 days.

Me too but you could always make a lining for it.

Cute purse! I think a lining with pockets would make it much more usable! And then you could use colors more to your liking! I like th flowers!

Yeah, when I make my purses, I always put a back wall zipper and front inside pockets in them. Sometimes outside opckets too.

Great Job, Sewnsewer!!!!! and your fabric is wonderful!

I'd use it as a tote for hand work - like for dr. & dentist appts where you have to sit and wait for hours. It's beautiful - and everyone will want to know where you got it!!!!!
