I needed a purse to finish out the winter...and one to go with the many winter jackets & coats that I wear. I think this one will work!

This was made from pieces of wool fabric that I found one day, while shopping our local GOODWILL store. We used to have a factor in town .... Glen of Michigan... that sewed for big names, like "White Stag" and "Pendelton". These pieces of fabric still had the tags on them from Glen of Michigan! What a find!

I started this one with a 5" square pattern piece that I cut from a scrap of stabilizer...and the rest just happened after I sat at my machine for a couple hours. It is lined with the burgandy twill that you see in the patchwork...and has a thin batting to help keep its structure.

I just LOVE how this one turned out! Had planned on some embroidered snowflakes on it, but decided to leave them off as I didn't think it needed anything more!
