This area of Illinois is noted for its Oak Savannas. These powerful clusters of magnificent trees are sprinkled generously throughout my daily routes. Our own property has several kinds of oaks, but mostly red oak, which is the basis of this leafy fabric design.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pocket-Purse-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2717\" src=\"http:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pocket-Purse-2.jpg\" alt=\"Sassaman Pocket Purse\" width=\"601\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pocket-Purse-2.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pocket-Purse-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pocket-Purse-2-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/store.php?cat=17\">Pretty Perfect Pocket Purse<\/a> is the featured pattern. I must have made a dozen of these practical purses over the years for different collections and it is the bag that I use everyday. Sometimes we trim them with rick rack, sometimes with felt beads, but for this version we added a crocheted ball trim. It mimicked\u00a0 the turquoise bees nicely.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pocket-Purse-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2718\" src=\"http:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pocket-Purse-5.jpg\" alt=\"Sassaman Pocket Purse\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pocket-Purse-5.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pocket-Purse-5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pocket-Purse-5-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I always line my bags with a light bright color so it is easier to find things inside.
