The flowers themselves were easy peasy to make ... putting it all together and having it be symmetrical was another story. This purse was to be a gift for a 2 year old but I just could not see it holding up - I did a shotty job of piecing it ... into the pile of lost toys it goes I suppose.
I finally caved and joined Ravelry because you know I already don't spend enough quality time on the computer. (Are you there? I'm yoadrienne if you want to find me ... I know - so original. Have you been loving every yarn, needle, and hook minute of it?!) So, to the point ... after my flowering defeat I decided to take a peek on Ravelry to see if there were any cute, fast and easy purse patterns for wee ones. Did I mention that the above purse was for a birthday present this past Friday that I finished on Friday? Yea. That would mean as of 1 PM prior to said birthday party I had no gift. Ravelry to the rescue. I found this adorable and what looked to meet all the above qualifications free pattern ... I got to work on this little ditty.
Time was running out so I used the flower pattern from the Lion Brand purse and just embellished it a bit. I didn't have time to figure out the flower original to the pattern. I was tickled how quickly this worked up and how cute it turned out. To top it off ... it passed the 2 year old test. Apparently we learn young the joy of purses and flowers; upon opening her gift she immediately put it over her shoulder and said 'pocket book'.
