I made this purse at the CGOA conference with nylon twine I got while visiting my roomie in Ohio. The button was purchased at the yarn market- I love glass buttons!

A friend asked me for help making a simple purse with a combination of homespun and fun fur. I made one along with her-it is small- 6 X 8 inches in all- but cute as can be.
