~~~~~Vera Bradley "Peacock" Purse ~~~

For your consideration is this beautiful,shoulder tote that I made using Vera Bradley Peacock Blue Paisley fabrics. It is truly one-of-a-kind. I will never make another one exactly like it.

This purse is just the right size to carry every day or for a day of shopping and would also make a great book bag, small diaper bag or market tote. It is sturdy enough to hold your heavier items.

ON THE OUTSIDE

I made the front and back of the bag using the Paisley fabric topped with a wide matching border.

The shoulder strap is double padded and top stitch quilted and will feel very comfortable on the shoulder. I added a magnetic snap closure to keep your treasures secure.

ON THE INSIDE

I think the inside of a purse should be as pretty as the outside. I used a matching lining fabric and added six pockets to hold all of your essentials. A magnetic snap closure was added to keep your treasures secure.

CONSTRUCTION

I constructed this bag to feel super quilty soft but it can stand on it’s own. Sandwiched between the outside and the lining is a layer of thick batting along with a layer of interfacing so the bag will not sag and also give it a feeling of being quilted. All of the fabric in this purse is 100% cotton. Scotchguard has been applied for protection. You can spot clean and steam press if necessary but should be dry cleaned to protect it from fading as you would with any fine garment.
