Date: Fri, 19 Jun 1998 17:18:48 -0400 From: Ron and Donna Mardis (dmardis@kih.net) Subject: [BOND] BASIC PURSE PATTERN Hi Everyone! This is my first attempt at designing. This is a very basic purse pattern. It is my thought that each individual could make this pattern "their own", in the ways you might embellish it. I knit the purse in white and added gold beads on the flap. I used the Magicord and braided the strap. I included crochet instructions for strap, in case you might not have access to a Magicord Machine. Also, a garter bar is not a necessity for this pattern. My appreciation to Leeanne Whorl for testing this pattern and sending her suggestions. Happy Knitting! Donna BASIC PURSE PATTERN
