Farblinien Purse. I call the purse this because it is the German translation for lines of colour. This is ultimately what the purse is all about at first glance. Complexity of lines broken up with colour and fragmented stripes, this makes the purse pleasing to the eye as the lines are not bold stripes it allows you to look into the design and see what it is all about: following the directions the purse takes you into.
I made this purse with a zip, which was not that easy to sew in. I broke my sewing machines needle twice, which was not very pleasant. After the second time i decided not to try it again and hand sew the zip in instead. Which will be stronger as the stitches tension is not too tight or too loose it will not break as easy; this adds to the homemade factor as well. Whilst I was sewing "The Great British Sewing Bee" judges were constantly in my head, talking about neat, even stitches and even tension. Therefor this purse is well stitched.
