Beautiful Blythe
I found my perfect fabric. It’s called Blythe, by Janet Dunn & Rebecca Bischoff for Robert Kaufman. it’s amazeballs. ROSES. Bright, saturated colors. Scattered polkadots. I am IN LOVE.

I used some leather scraps to reinforce the handles, but otherwise, it’s all Blythe, all the time. here’s the inside: Since I had scraps after making the bag, I made the wallet from Straight Stitch Society. here’s the back, opened...
