Outside In Purse
"The Outside In Purse is crocheted out of two rectangles, both made from the outside in. They’re joined as they’re made and the centers are seamed with a decorative cross stitch. I’ve used quite a few colors to create my little masterpiece, and it makes me oh-so-happy! The strap is reinforced with strapping on the inside so it won't grow as the purse is filled up. I know my bags tend to get rather heavy, so this is a great trick!"
