Social Distancing #11
On my list for my photo challenge was the words 'Flat Lay'*. I had to look it up.
* A flat lay is a picture taken from a birds eye view of a collection of items laid out on a flat surface.
My next project I am going to make while Social Distancing is a Summer Handbag. I love handbags, purses of every size and shape. Over the years I have made my own handbag, purse, totes, backpacks. As a teenager I hand stitched a tote bag for school made from pleather material from mom and dad's old couch, then crocheting several draw string purses, to more recent years back packs made from recycled denim.
I love purses and handbags! I guess that is why I liked working in a Hand bag and Luggage Store!!

"I turn strings into things ~ what is your super power?"
In early Europe men carried a purse. It is described as a small bag (similar to today’s wallet) that carried the coin currency of the time. When fashion became popular women would carry small ornamental purses that eventually evolved into handbag (in which one would carry their purse) while men’s fashion went in another direction. The early handbags were considered vulgar and risqué and was considered the first example of underwear as outerwear. To display a women’s pockets (normally worn under the women’s skirts) was considered akin to lifting her skirts in public and revealing her underwear. How scandalous; Heaven forbit we display for all to see our undergarments. No matter the fashion of the future we will continue to sport our “pockets”.
