Pleated Denim Purse







This was knit with made-in-Italy Elsebeth Lavold Hempathy; 34% hemp, 41% cotton and 25% modal in color 012 (navy blue). The pattern is from which is a fantastic book of modern and easy patterns. The purse is knit in two pieces, front and back. Then I used a mattress stitch to join them and blocked the piece. I bought the fabric and buttons at hobby lobby and sewed in the lining. This was my first time sewing! I used a magnetic clasp on the flap.
