This is another belt that is easy to make longer or shorter because it is based on a repeat motif.

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.
