Spring Purse

I sewed a springy purse for myself this week. First I made a pattern onto brown kraft paper, drawing and measuring along the way. Then I cut out the pattern and fabric. The exterior fabric is like this with a yellow button over the snap closure.

I used some of my matching beads to add a little trim at the top of the purse. Its likely I'll sew more on one night while I'm sitting watching TV.

and the interior looks like this with a pocket

I cut some of the fabrics for the exterior and lining of the bag to make

a coordinating flower that I learned to make here

Then I sewed it on the side of the bag like this and voila a Judi original. The last time I made one of these flowers I glued a brooche pin to the back and I was able to remove it and wear it to coordinate the bag.

I also made a green bead and silver necklace but I'll show that to you another time.

Thats my show and tell for today... have a lovely day.... Judi xoxo
