Afternoon people's. Finished this today. Pam's Valentines prezzy.
My first attempt ended up being too thick for the machine to sew through. I used pink real fake leather as the cover. Ah well.
Pam loves butterfly's (butterflies?) and her mum (passed away before I met her) loved yellow roses so I figured I'd try combine the two.
It worked! I think. I'm happy with the finished purse though.
It only broke 2 needles!

Oh what a great job you’ve made of that @Bill   
They can be tricky with all the layers, I know!

I bought some 90 microtex needles on your suggestion that they'd be good for thick stuff. They worked. Thankyou  :)

It was surprisingly easy to be honest @Ouryve

I call that a fabulous job @Bill and I really like that fabric.  Pam will be really pleased with that.

That's a fabulous present @Bill, I especially love the butterfly fabric. She's a very lucky lady to receive a romantic token of love like that  :).
