A while back SewGorgeous was just getting into vintage stuff sew I found this vintage 1940s style bag pattern and made her this.
It is basically a large crocheted circle folded in half. I used a silver lurex and green vintage 'wool' that I'd had for years.
I embellished it with other elements like the pale green leaves and the pink buds from this crochet pattern and added lots of buttons, frills,
ribbon roses, embroidered it and threaded it with ribbon.
I backed it in a green cotton.
and lined it with a heavy sumptuous satin for a luxurious contrast
and even if I say so myself I think it is rather fabulous darling!
