This groovy, Bohemian bag is a through-back design from the 1960's and 70's. In its's time it was considered reminiscent of Victorian crazy quilts. Which just goes to show that fashion, like history, repeats itself. |
I made this simple purse for our 18" dolls by drawing half of the large letter "U" on a folded piece of paper. This became my pattern.
- Cut two felt pieces alike, using a similar pattern, for your doll to trace around on top of felt. Choose whatever colors you would like, of course.
- You will also need to cut several lengths of felt approximately 1/2 in width to sew between your felt pieces all the way around the "U" shape, excluding the top opening of the purse.
- Around the upper edge of the opening of the purse, sew on a lace trim.
- Attach a purse strap using the same measurements as you used to sew the side panel into the purse itself.
- Now decorate the felt doll purse with lace, embroidery, crochet flowers, beads etc...
- Make a loop from yarn or fabric to attach to the inside, center of one edge of the doll's purse.
- Then attach a decorative button or bead to the opposite side, in the middle, so that the loop may be slipped over the button to close the purse.
