I just love working with Lion Brand suede yarns. I like the look and feel you get from them.
This purse is a bit different from any I have designed before. I was going for a different shape than what I normally tend toward. It's unique in that it snaps around the sides of the purse and then across.

Stumbled upon this while researching what to do with Lion Brand Suede. Actually wanted to see if I could do a skirt pattern I saw that called for another bulky yarn: Carol Bliss bulky.
Nice purse though. :)
