Construction zone.........

Well, it's begun. I have the Two-Tone Triangle purse sewn together as you can see. I did actually try putting this together a couple of different ways. The instructions don't give you a specific which side is outer edge and which is inner although this shape is fine with me. I didn't want a particularly large opening at the top, but I did try to match the picture as best as I could. Pre-felting size was 21 1/4 inches across the bottom and 16 1/2 inches from bottom to top point (excluding handles). It's been felted and I'm surprised a bit that it didn't come out smaller, but the post-felting size is 19 3/4 inches across the bottom and 12 1/4 inches from bottom to top point. It's blocking now, so when all is done I'll show the the finished version.

I love these two colors together! You must model it when complete so we can get perspective on its finished size. Happy constructing!
