I made 3 from this very cute pattern, which by the way is great.
Here is the first one:

The second one, I had made the piecing earlier with plans for a different purse. I decided it would be perfect for this purse:

I thought this purse needed something on the flap but the fabric didn't look like it needed a flower pin, so I dug out this vintage button, just right.

Here is the last one, I omitted the flap, added a couple of inches to the bag and added some ruffles.
A fun morning in the sewing room.
The afternoon, I took my serger to the Babylock dealer, it might be 2 weeks, they are very busy. Please no, I want to pick it up sooner.
My sewing machine went to the Viking dealer, for a bit of maintenance and cleaning.
So no sewing for me for a bit.
Cute bags! My BL serger is at the "spa" too. They said hopefully he'd have it done in 3 days. Fingers crossed as I'm having withdrawls because it's been out of commission waiting for a part since the 9th. Have a great vacation!
ReplyDeleteThese bags are great. Did you use a pattern? I need to make a special 50th birthday gift for my oldest friend (37 years)
ReplyDeleteCute bags. Have a lovely vacation.
ReplyDeleteHave a great vacation with all your great new summer clothes. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat bags. Hummm--I can see you teaching those in sewing classes at your friend's quilt shop!
ReplyDeletegorgeous purses! have fun at the beach... i'm missing the beach already...
ReplyDeletegreat bags, really cute! When I have that problem with my EVOLVE, I force dental floss as far as will go and vacuum with a tiny attachment I got from Nancy's Notions a while back. So far, works everytime! Enjoy your vacation.
ReplyDeleteDarling bags! I hate it when my machines have to go to the spa...that's why I keep back up machines...can't stand to not be able to sew!
ReplyDeleteMe too, I'm on a vacation from sewing, at least this week. Love those bags and have a good time.
ReplyDeleteGreat bags. I love the colours on the first one.
