I made a buttonhole in one side piece. The purse measures 9&#8243; x 10 1\/2&#8243; and has a long strap for using as a cross-body purse.<\/p>\n<p>I worked at this at my knitting group, which meets on Tuesday afternoons and also evenings in Hannibal, Missouri. I shared the pattern with a family member.<\/p>\n<p>Working on this item took me over 20 hours with the knitting, piecing together, sewing a lining, and placing the lining in the purse.<\/p>\n<p>My cross-body, deep-green knitted purse is very attractive. I knit in seed stitch, which just makes it a little more decorative. I made the bottom, sides, and strap in garter stitch to add some variety to the purse. I lined it with a pretty soft grey with white polka dots, which I had left from making a message bag last year. I used a buttonhole stitch around the buttonhole and into the fabric lining and then sewed on a nice, shiny red button &#8230; my favorite color. It turned out great and I have used it and received many compliments already. I am sure I will use it for many years to come. I also plan to make a few in the future as gifts for family and friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image aligncenter size-full wp-image-54218\" src=\"http:\/\/www.raisingjane.org\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/0077.jpg\" alt=\"007(7)\" width=\"432\" height=\"287\" \/>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome New Sisters!
