Today I put the final stitches in my version of Brigitte Giblin's Little Hexagon Purse, made at the request of my eldest daughter. That a seventeen-year-old would want to wear anything made by their mother is special enough, but that she still loves it (and me!) many months after it was requested is remarkable!
Self imposed deadlines to have this little purse finished came and went with monotonous regularity.
But today it is done! The colours and fabrics were chosen by my daughter to coordinate with her wardrobe, as described previously.
The hexagons are 1/2 inch, and hand pieced. I very much enjoyed my first hand piecing project and have a small insight into the addictive and therapeutic nature of this technique. I detailed some tips and tricks that I learned in this post.
And now there is nothing to wait for but a lift to town to christen the new wardrobe addition :)
I like it very much. Your works are always very inspiring and happy. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteReally lovely...she must be thrilled with her clever mother.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, your photography is lovely too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bag, Ros - you and your girl should be thrilled to bits.

Love it...I have the pattern but haven't started yet.
ReplyDeleteWow, it's gorgeous! Bet your daughter is over the moon with it.
ReplyDeleteOh wow - it is simply beautiful... so lovely. Wonderful work and beautiful fabrics - makes me itch to get stitching!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I would like to make something similar. Did you use a pattern or directions for the shape and how to attach to the frame?
ReplyDeleteI love it! What a lucky girl to have such a talented mom. And what a lucky mom to have a daughter who loves her mom's work. It's a beautiful purse.
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous...

ReplyDeleteReally beautiful Ros!! Congratulations on getting it finished. Well worth the time it took to make it.
ReplyDeleteI still only have one side of mine finished......
It's turned out beautifully Ros - your daughter is very fortunate. The bag looks wonderful slung over her shoulder. I made three last year and am still to make one for myself.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful! The little grey with blue pattern fussy cut hexes really caught my eye. There is so much to love about this, but most of all your daughter's heart.
ReplyDeleteWow. That little purse is just adorable!
ReplyDeleteIt's adorable!! love the hardware.
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely - can I be your adopted daughter and request one as well.

It's beautiful Ros! I am thinking you will be getting quite a few requests from your daughters friends.
