Chapter Twelve - Second Design

After Sian's feedback regarding my necklace design she pointed out that it was a 3D item....doh!

So I went back to the drawing board and I have designed a 3D purse.....

   

I then made a full size calico mock up of my design.....

   

This help me decide about the adjoining seams and whether to have them inward or outward facing. 

I them made another full size mock up in the patterned paper to get a feel of the overall look of the purse....

  

  

The holes for the braiding will be reinforced with free motion zig zag over the raw edges.

  

I await for Sian's input.
