Default Cork Purse

Absolutely one-of-a-kind, because I'm never making another.

This was from the Boronia bag pattern and along with the pattern, there was about 3 hours of video (5 altogether), which I was truly grateful for, as I would never have finished it without seeing her do it from start to finish. Maybe if you had experience bag-making it would have been a snap. And, I sent a question and got an answer right away, so the pattern-maker was really responsive.

I also bought the wrong kind of zipper, which I didn't figure out until I had the whole thing in...and I sure as heck wasn't taking it out....so I couldn't finish it by the pattern, I had to wing that part, but it turned out OK...Just more hand-sewing of the lining than there would have been. Still have a little of that to do.

All in all, I think it turned out well...other than the zipper undoing from the wrong ends. Oh, well.


The cork was surprisingly easy to work with, as well.
