Thursday is Purse Day - Atkinson Swamp Tote

Today we'll look at the third and final tote bag I made from Terry Atkinson's Happy Hour book.

I call it Swamp Purse, because that's what the fabric looks like to me.  The top fabric is rayon; the bottom is cotton.

Buttons on one side look like sliced, petrified tree trunks.

Buttons on the other side look like - well, you be the judge of that.

The inside fabric evokes the thick grasses and vines in a swamp.  Aqua shell buttons cover the stitching for the exterior buttons.

 

 The wallet for this purse is a mini-tote.

Here are the three wallets.

And here are the three totes.
