Cutting out the handle.
Pullling back the flap that will become a pocket.
Turning the bag right-side out and hand-stitching the handle.
The back side of the purse.
The doves of peace fabric that I used for the pocket lining.
The inner pocket...
...and in close-up.
Because I am a fabric lover...
...I still have a bit of a stash in my rarely-used sewing room.
And after a bit of searching...
...I was delighted to find a piece that suited this project perfectly!
I made this bag in the usual manner...
...turning it right-side out and stitching up the handle before the final felting.
Next time: the finished bag...
...with a fabulous vintage button!

O, Heather! YOu make your work always so enjoyable to watch. My compliments..hugzz...Peebee
That's a charming fabric, and will be lovely to catch sight of when using the bag!
Love the tie dye look! I love the pocket fabric too!
It continues to look wonderful. Looking forward to the finished bag. :)
The dove fabric is perfect for the bag. I love the idea behind the Peace Felt project. I heard about the project in 2010, but missed the deadline. This year, it slipped under my radar.
Can't wait to see the finished bag.
Thanks so much, ladies!! I really loved making this bag! XXO-
