Here's another purse I made in August. I love the way it came out. My goal with this piece was to use up my ball of pink yarn.
The handle took longer to make than usual because instead of two rows of double crochet, I did five rows of single crochet. It was worth it because it came out more beautifully than I anticipated. And I used up the pink yarn.
I made a single flower from the turquoise and added a sweet butterfly button.
This lining fabric scrap from my stash worked wonderfully! It ties the whole project together.
After I finished this purse, my daughter asked if I did this color combination on purpose. These are the colors of the transgender flag. No, I hadn't realized that! But I love that it has the butterfly as a symbol of transformation. Wouldn't it be great if this purse went to a trans kid who is in crisis because they're questioning their gender identity? Perhaps receiving something like this would help her feel seen.
I'm all for that.
