PPC36: Twilight
So… in our last post I told you that we coming to the end of this cycle of Purse Pattern Chronicles, and indeed, this is the last sample I’ll be showing you prior to our having to choose the ONE sample that will represent this new design by being the cover model for the Cargo Strap…

So… in our last post, I told you that we had sent this pattern out to our testers & that we were winding down toward the eventual publication of this new pattern, the Cargo Strap! But in the meantime I’ve got one more sample to show you before we make that all important decision as…

So… in our last post, I told you that we had abandoned the idea of a connector piece between the sash & the strap. I liked the idea of the connector, but in the end it made the attached phone (or the attached bag) ride too low on my body. I’m happier with…

Beth Revere hails from Council Grove, Kansas and started testing for us WAY BACK in the 8th cycle of Purse Pattern Chronicles in 2014 with the Wrapsody design.
