[@paulaneary7877]

This purse is just gorgeous!

"We're going to represent all the people who just liked doing things but weren't necessarily experts at everything" is going to be my theme for this month. Love it. Also love the purse, it turned out beautifully! Stash busting and budget friendly - truly an ideal end result. I love what your mind comes up with! Also again, an honourable mention to certain purring friends in the video, they are much appreciated 🧡

[@KristineVike]

Chaotic but enthusiastic crafters, unite! :D I too enjoy the creativity of stash busting projects quite a lot.

[@honeybadgerisme]

🤗🫶🏽love the "spin!" That purse deserves showing off!

[@KristineVike]

Thank you, it was such a fun little make!

[@jenniferstocker5462]

Your little purse is so pretty, the design is lovely! Your embroidery is very well done too!

[@KristineVike]

Thank you! It was a fun little experiment.

[@elizabethstreeter2145]

Beautiful design and wonderful embroidery well done and great find on your top

[@eileenfb1948]

Your embroidery is so neat. Love all things pocket. This is delightful - I can't find the right word to express how good I feel your pocket is.

[@ejk872]

Your craftsmanship is phenomenal. I love how it turned out, especially since you used up what you already had lying around.

[@KristineVike]

Thank you! I do love trying to use what I already have. 😊

[@sewcute_sewvintage]

Very beautiful! And that lid!! I'm envious 😻

[@kalka1l]

This is truly gorgeous. I always admire your stash-busting skills.

[@noimitai3066]

[@resourcedragon]

Soot's purring is next level adorable. 💗

[@Afaq-vw6hm]

Love the colors and looks big enough for a cell phone. ..

[@KristineVike]

It fits my phone, at least.

[@hirsch5922]

This is such a wonderfully calm and pleasent video! Your calm explanations kept me great company while I did my own sewing and I now feel very excited to make my own little pocket!

[@KristineVike]

I hope you do! They are super-fun, little projects. 😊

[@toteoma3034]

This is wicked cute. May give this a go, using a draw-string instead of the purse closure.

[@KristineVike]

Thank you, a drawstring would look really cute with this!

[@saraalves6873]

[@linr8260]

This is so cute! I love the colours on the embroidery, and it looks so fancy when suspended.

[@KristineVike]

Thank you! I’ve had the plant-dyed colors for a while, and finally decided to just use them!

[@TealCheetah]

That meow at the end *sob*

[@KristineVike]

She is the best little troublemaker. ❤️

[@paloma_hill]

oh that came out gorgeous!

[@KristineVike]

Thank you! It was such a fun project. 😊

[@jennifernolen8111]

Absolutely beautiful work. I'm working up the nerve to make a pocket for myself, I'm very new to sewing.

[@KristineVike]

It is an excellent project to start with! Not too big nor using too much material. You can totally do it. 😊

[@amymurdock5905]

This is SO lovely!!! I am finding many videos to enjoy on your channel, thanks to JillianEve.

Amazing

[@josefinamccarty9271]

Ma Kristine , I am very impressed with your embroidery skills...this cute purse Norwegian style is just so pretty.... I would like to see your take on something I do not seem to get quite clear: A Mexican embroidery called: TENANGO. this type of embroidery in used on Mexican and Guatemalan blouses called: HUIPIL this litle blouse is very simple, and has a long history as far as the Azteca times. I LOVED your presentation on: DARNING I used to do it when I was very young, since socks were so expensive in Central America. I also would like to see your take on the Japanese PATCH mending called : BORO sound simple, but is not.... Thank you for the time you take to give us the history of the craft you are presenting.... Josefina Mccarty. U S A South Florida....

[@dianajewell3251]

Are any of the pockets done with Hardanger? I am so happy I found you !!

[@KristineVike]

Not that I am aware, since Hardanger seam includes cutting away parts of the fabric for decorative effect. You never know though. :)

[@dianajewell3251]

Just thought they may have been lined .... You do beautiful work !!

[@ecole7443]

Stunning!! ❤

[@octette]

[@KristineVike]

Violette

[@jennifermiller7986]

I love the purrs ❤❤❤

[@annestrand6933]

Nydelig arbeid, ny abo her etter å ha sett mange av dine videoer (finner sjelden norske å følge..) Gleder meg til å se mer av arbeidet ditt, mens jeg moter meg opp til å forsøke på en prototype hårband til min datters bunad (kanske en gang i fremtiden finner hun at lua er grei?!)

[@KristineVike]

Takk! Og lykke til med bunadsarbeidet. 🙂

[@lisascenic]

This is enchanting! What are the skirt hooks called, please?

[@KristineVike]

I am not sure if they have a specific name, but in Norwegian they fall under “veskelås”, or “purse lock”. I would struggle to find the appropriate terms in English, but I imagine “chatelaine” would start you off on the right direction.

[@lisascenic]

@@KristineVike Thank you! Chatelaine does seem like a good starting place!

[@garypeterson1342]

That is so beautiful ❤

[@dianajewell3251]
