Space Needle Wedding Purse

I've noticed that many brides are getting more adventurous with both their wedding plans and their accessories. Here's a case in point.

Recently a fun-loving bride brought us a small piece of the French blue silk dupioni fabric from which her wedding dress is made. She's getting married at the Space Needle here in Seattle in May, so she wanted something pretty and unique, but not too serious.

Here's the back of the Edith bag that I made for her. She chose a gorgeous silk taffeta designer sample for the body of the bag that has irregular stripes of gold, wheat, blue, and deep red. We used the blue dress fabric as the pleat. The lining of the bag is crimson, "because I'm a vixen," said this fantastic bride.
