shop clients. Your comments are always welcome.
A very easy purse to knit, knit in individual pieces
and sewn together (felting is very forgiving, stitches are never seen after felting). Three flowers are knit and
felted separately and sewn on after the purse is felted. Knit from Brown Sheep - Lamb's Pride.
