In October I finished three purses. Two of them have an autumn theme.
For this purse, I wanted to use up the dark brown ball of yarn.
The yellow flower has a double-button center. The brown lower/larger button lets the yellow button "pop."
Then I crocheted another multi-color strap. Brown yarn? Used up!
When I submitted the September purses, I asked if they thought adding a closure might be a good improvement. The wonderful gal at the counter said yes, give it a try. So I added an identical brown button to the center of this purse. I tried to match the color of the button to the dark brown yarn so that it would be subtle rather than conflicting with the yellow flower.
I used a chain stitch loop to wrap around the button. I attached it to the purse back as shown in the highlighted oval. The closure chain is not too conspicuous.
For the lining I found this vibrant red/rust/orange/black burst of color. I think it's an excellent enhancement.
I have three or four more purses to share, but may take a break in my next blog post to show a different kind of craft.
