Miniature Handbag No:17

This one is a pattern I have used before but the style is a favourite of my Parchment Tutor -Marilyn Pybus. It is called the' Knitting Bag'.    It is on Marilyn's stand at the Sandown Show - in September - where all these bags will be displayed.  This one uses two pieces of parchment, one plain and one coloured. For the coloured one I have used Debbees Cd - Paper Flower Boutique.  It is a subtle backing paper of mainly yellows and soft greens.  It doesn't photograph that well but it does look delicate and pretty in the flesh.
The ribbon is already attached to the bag so that it can be hung from the Fotofall.  Sorry about that.  It is a fiddle to thread the ribbon through the glass beads I use as weights and I  didn't want to do it again.

One more to go but I haven't decided which one yet.  I think I ought to finish  with a bang and do a really complicated one - - -but then perhaps not!
