Here is a look of my finished purse (well almost!) I am working on the lining. I showed it to a young lady last week and she said: "It is so cute, it looks like a mermaid's tail". So I said, I must have done it correctly since it is called the mermaid's tears purse!! :lol: :thumbsup:

How many other people are lining their purses? I didn't think about that!

I've never lined a purse before, because I've always made felted purses. But I think it would be easy if you have some sewing experience. I bet you could find a purse lining tutorial on the internet! :thumbsup:
