Design by Jessie Rayot, owner of Jessie At Home.
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!
