"Pretty in Pink" Cradle Purse!

[shuttlebuggy]

Here is my second attempt creating a cradle purse from the pattern offered on CPC whose designer was Irene Duquette, the pattern is offered free there at the CPC site.

I enjoy not only making these little purses with the special surprise inside but the squeels of delight and precious smiles from the little girls who recieve them as birthday presents

This one in fact was made for a special bday girl after she saw her cousin recieve one from me on her bday - she put a "special request" in for hers ahead of time so I just couldn't resist as she asked me so sweetly!

So this time it is pretty in pink instead of purple as the first was -

That is too funny! I am 45 years old and my Grandmother made me one of these when I was about 6 years old... I called it my "church purse". She made it a bit different... back then dish soap came in colored plastic bottles... she cut the top off of a pink bottle and used a paper punch to made holes around it and then she even sewed a little mattess for it. I loved that purse and still have it!!! LOL! You did a great job! I have tried to make on like my grandma made but dish soap now comes in clear bottles ... and it just didn't look right. I love your! Great job!

The pattern is on Crochet Pattern Central and is offered by Irene Duquette - it starts out doily-like but then has a few surprises along the way but nothing difficult - very fun!

I remember having one of those made for me by my g'ma when I was little--I LOVED it! Great job making sweet memories for those girls!

[LaVonneK]

Very pretty! You did a great job, she will love it. May I ask where you got the little dolls?

[contrary.crocheter]

I was just going to ask the same question about the dolls! Where did you find yours? I also have to say that I love this pattern and the colors you chose came out so cute! It was fun to see all your pics and I imagine any little girl would absolutely love to have one of her own!! This is going on my list of things to make!! I just have a few WIPS to finish up. I am fighting the urge to start on one this morning!

So pretty!

 

To the previous posters asking about dolls, I have made a few of these & found the little dolls at Walmart in the toy section. They were pretty inexpensive but I can't remember how much they were--I think around $1.50?

So sweet!
