don't worry...I still quilt
It seems as if I am on a purse making frenzy, but I am really not. They are just so much quicker to start and finish than a quilt. So that's why I whip one out every few days...just to have something to blog about. (I wish I were only half kidding!)
This is a purse pattern that I drafted. The final one was here. So this is the final final draft. I love how it turned out. Having beautiful fabric in paisley and stripes helps a lot too. It is lined with interfacing (which I dislike) so the next time I try this purse most of the pieces will be quilted. And I plan to make one exactly like this one for me. (That is my friend in the photo...and it is her purse. She bought the fabric...isn't it perfect?)

It is my dear friend Amy Jo's birthday today, so if you have a minute why don't you stop over to her blog and wish her a happy birthday? I know she would appreciate it. :)
I love the purse. The fabrics are beautiful. I hope that your friend enjoys it.

My goodness, woman! You whip one out every few days?!? Where is your cape? You have superhuman powers!
ReplyDeletei seem to be making cushion covers at the moment rather than quilts - as long as i'm sewing something i'm happy.
ReplyDeleteLove the bag! The wider strap looks like it hugs the shoulder and would stay up there better. I've been a huge knitter, but love the instant gratification of sewing. Thanks for sharing
