errmm ok, so it's a bit messy, just a bit mind lol My machine is still set up and draped in a denim bag just needing a lining. The cream box will hopefully be lined with fabric and will hold the wedding gift I made. On the chair you can see ever more denim and a craft mat with 5 little paper flowers on it. they have been dipped in UTEE and will hopefully make it onto a bracelet.
the rest of the room right now is pretty bad too lol.
30 bags done so far, plus that one on the machine which is half done. I have enough denim and time to do another 5, bringing my total to 36. I don't think i will get anymore done than that, as the convoy goes on the 3rd and we are away for a few days before then. So my target of 40 is unlikely to get done, but 36 is pretty close. I will post a pic of them all before I deliver them to the driver.
did you see the bag I made the other day for the wedding? well I made a little purse to go with it.
How cute is that, it was made just from the leftover scraps. I took a lot of photos, too many to put here so I popped them into a pdf for you with a mini tutorial.
Pleated Coin Purse Tutorial.
The pdf is on Scribd, so if you click the link you can download it, you will need a Scribd account but that is free to do.
In a mad rush now, a million gazillion things to do before the weekend,so may not get much visiting done. Have a great week.x

Very very nice!! wish I could sew! Now, if I had a machine??, who knows what I'd be able to do! House sitting house...welllll, I set up in the 'office' where there's a bed-sofa, so there's not much....mushroom (!) to get messy! and their dining table is really high, or the chair low as it comes up nearly to my chin! so no crafting on there either! have a good woyww

Cool blog. I like your purse. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteYou are SO creative. You make your sewing machine actually do something it was supposed to. I'm really impressed, as always, with your bag and small matching purse. Now if you could only find a way to make shoes to match (grin).
ReplyDeleteAs for the scent diffuser, lately I've been using carnation essential oil. Earlier in the year, it was watermelon EO that I bought at a craft fair. It made me feel so like summer. That's probably what brought on our oppressive heat, so I'm hoping the carnation will make me feel cooler, at least. Happy WOYWW.
I just love the bag with the matching purse. Really really cute.
ReplyDeleteDarcy, you keep adding things to my to do list everytime my back is turned lol. I love the purse, thanks for the tutorial downloaded, it is sooooo getting downloaded, can't wait to try it
