Lots of challenging life things going on around here, meaning my blogging and sewing time may be a bit infrequent from now onwards – I’ll do my best to keep up – but long overdue is the next give away.
When I made the tweed purses a while back, I mentioned that they were quite difficult to line up. As you can see, one purse in particular is very ‘out’ so I thought I’d set it aside for a give away (the yellow stitching is machine basting that has now been removed). I was about to write that it’s perfect in every other way, but I also notice the inside pocket is on the wrong side…..apart from that, it is a lovely purse!
So with one LHS pocket and dodgy lining up, but with lovely fabrics, the usual hand holding strap and removable rose corsage here it is. Please just leave a comment before Saturday 1st December – what!!! December is that close, oh dear, where did the time go – oh, and you can live anywhere, it’s open to all.
BTW, I have managed a few jobs, including some non-sewing (new shelves in my studio) and finally re-upholstering my Gran’s pouffe so I’ll try to get the accompanying posts written soon.

Such loveliness! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
Even with it’s slight imperfections, it’s still a lovely purse – count me in!
Lovely blog as always!
Imperfections are what makes the norm unique and interesting. They show the maker’s hand. I love it!
Gorgeous anyway. Don’t the Amish believe a ‘perfect’ product represents an insulting challenge to God’s creativity? This has always been my excuse!
It’s beautiful Beth!
I’m left-handed so a LHS pocket would suit me just fine! 😉

I love these tweed purses so much! Even ‘imperfect’ it’s beautiful do I’d love a chance to win it! Fingers crossed!
I hope you are ok, I don’t think I like challenging life stuff at all, in this house it’s usually difficult and emotional.
As for the purse, I think it’s still beautiful, It’s funny when you do a batch of things there is always one thats not quite right 🙂 (and lucky for us as we get the chance to win one yay)
I’d love to see how your Gran’s pouffe turned out.
Take care

Lovely lovely pouch – looks perfect to me!
I hope your ‘challenging life things’ have positive outcomes or silver linings or at least get out of your way quickly! Take care. The purse is beautiful, you are such a perfectionist in your work. I’d love a chance to win. – Jane x
Oh so beautiful and I love it! It will be such a nice advance Christmas gift to whoever the winner will be 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
I’m suffering with a few of life’s troubles at the moment, and to top it all, the cooker decided to break and I can’t get anyone to come and fix it until Monday. Hope your ‘challenges’ are nothing too serious and can be worked out without causing too many stresses.
I’m offering a giveaway as well today, though nothing as beautiful as your purse.

The purse is perfect for a left hander as the inside pocket must be on the correct side for me if it is wrong for you. The flowers are gorgeous too, just right to brighten up a gloomy autumn day. Thanks for a great giveaway.
I hope all is ok Beth and not too challenging
I’d just love to be entered, as even an ‘out’ purse looks lovely to me
