After making the first Punished piece, I decided to make a Punisher purse. I might be a huge comic book fan, but I'm still a girl. I hooked up a strap and a side/bottom piece and made a purse out of it. This was my first go at lining a project. It went better than expected. My first thought was to line the purse with Cookie Monster fabric. But, everyone I suggested that to flailed about and yelled 'NO WAY!'. In the end, I went with a pink fabric with heats and flowers on it. I needed something to contrast the Punisher bits.

Edge and strap connection:
The edge is one piece, wrapped around and whip stitched onto the front and back sides.
Strap:
The strap is done in SC with SLST around the edge to help cut down on the stretching...and it just looks good.
