It started with this flower.
From this book:
And it became the focal point of this handbag.
A handbag for Ruth.
And blue is her favorite color....
And zippers don't cut it for a massive stroke victim --- but pockets for tissues and sunglasses (yes, she is still a diva needing her shades...) I sewed this handbag for her. Now when we go out shopping (which we do frequently) she can do it in style.

This flower was so easy & quick to crochet that I started to think about all of the fabric in my stash. And yarn.
A lot!
And since this handbag was so easy to sew ( I just drew out a purse template on cruddy paper and sewed it from there)...and the flower so fun & fast --
Well.
It's the makings for some (a lot!) cute handbags with 'crochet-cute' flowers as added embellishment.

we girls can never have too many bags...even though I only have one at a time!!! Ruth will love it I know and be so envied...you better make a lot so you can sell them...so you can buy more fabric and yarn to make more bags with fleurs!!!
what a wonderful creative idea!!! love the purple-lilac colors.
That is a precious bag! It's amazing what a difference the flower makes.

O que uma simples flor de crochet pode fazer, a mala ficou linda, muito delicada. Adorei.

What a nice gift. The flower really compliments the fabric. I'm sure your "diva " will love it.
Super cute! And so awesome that she still goes shopping with you. What fun!
Pra você com carinho!!!

What a gorgeous bag, your friend will adore it I'm sure!
Great bag - it's very pretty. :)
What a sweetheart you are! Ruth is blessed to have a friend like you! I loved that adorable purse as well as the other purses "in progress". You choose the most beautiful colors and your work is so well done. I am envious that you can just draw up your own pattern and have it turn out so well. Thanks for sharing your creations with us. Your blog is my "happy place".
What a sweetie you are and Ruth is so lucky to have as part of her life. I love the bag and that flower is the perfect finishing touch!
I love how you added the flower to the bags. It gave me a great idea to do with some of my flowers hanging around the house
