nice circular pattern on the back that I free-hand sew on my machine.

Hot Child in the City

Can you believe these vibrant colors!? I've made this pattern before, but I'm still dazzled by it every time. The red is so luscious and fiery. It has a depth to it that really burns. The design I put on the front is done in cool colors to compliment the red. The smaller orbs are made with circles of brocade- one being part of a very old, much hoarded vintage piece that I'm finally about to run out of. The wavy pattern of the brocade is hard to photograph, in person it changes at every turn of the purse. The large circle is dark turquoise dupioni silk that I top stitched a circular pattern onto. The rest of the pattern is something I drew out and satin stitched. I will make duplicates of this purse, and since I'm not a machine, the pattern may have very slight variations. The bottom is stiff and has silver purse feet for cuteness and for protection. There's a tab at the top with a magnetic snap, and the lining is bright turquoise satin.
