Two more purses!

For some odd reason these two up close pictures of purses didn't show up so here they are.

Enjoy!

More Purses

I am so addicted to making these Rag Purses with matching pins, with the Stampin' Up! Big shot and the BigZ Scallop Square Die! The two little purses are for a friend at work for her Granddaughters. She is going to use them as their Easter Baskets. The purses are made with fabric colors that both girls really like. The other purses I made just for fun. Today I am going to make a purse just for me using the Country Kitchen fabric I bought a few weeks ago!!!! I'll post pictures when I get it done!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!!

Ruffles & More Ruffles

I remembered how to do ruffles the right way and these look so much better!

Ruffled Dish Towel

I decided to add a ruffle of the coordinating fabric to the dish towel.
I definately need to freshen up on my "ruffle" how to!!!!

Kitchen Dish Towels

Ki tchen dishtowels I made using the Stampin' Up! Big Shot and the Scallop Square Die. These were quick & easy!

Hair Clips & Hair Bands

Blue Rag Purse

Large zippy pocket on inside of purse.


One of 2 inside small pockets on each side of the purse.





Finished Purse with matching pin.

Closeup of the pretty blue fabric I used inside and out.

Isn't this really fun fabric? My photos don't show how really pretty and fun this fabric is.
The fabric is by Makower and called Country Kitchen series.
I can hardly wait to make a purse out of it.
So much fabric & so little time!!!!

Orange Rag Purse

This is the orange purse my neice Audra wanted me to do for her. I made it a little larger using 27 sandwiches instead of 19 and also made a sleeve to cover a clear piece of acrylic from Bag-e-Bottoms that you can order from www.bag-e-bottoms.com. Size A (4" x 11") is the one that I used and it fits perfectly inside these purses. There are also instructions on how to make the sleeve included with each piece. I tried cutting a piece of cardboard & covering it with a sleeve but it bent the cardboard. I did not tack down the sleeve inside the purse as instructed because if you ever need to wash the bag & sleeve you can just pull it out, remove the plastic piece and throw all the fabric inside the washer.

This size of Bag-e-Bottom plastic is $9.00 so if anyone out there has a source or another idea that might be a little more cost effective I'd really like to know your thoughts. I was also thinking about using Foam Board but haven't gotten that far yet to test it out.

I took this purse to work with me yesterday to show my co-workers and received 2 orders for purses and 2 seperate pin orders! I'm having way too much fun and a BIG Thank you to whoever started this purse & pin craze!!!!!

Sweet Pea Pink Flower Pin

Oky I'm sure someone has already done this but this is my first all pink flower pin using the Sweet Pea Stitched Felt. I am having so much fun making pins & purses that I can hardly contain myself!!!

My messy sewing room!

Sandy said she would like to see all my fabric.
Well this is only a 1/4 of what I have. The rest is
hidden behind the cabinet doors.
I like to keep a lot of my work in progress fabric out so I can see it. Plus it serves as a reminder as to what else I need to get done.
I love Fabric!!!!

My First Purse & Pin

This is the first purse & matching pin that I made. I am totally addicted to making these pins & purses. I am currently working on an orange purse for my neice Audra and then hopefully I can make myself a pretty pastel purse with matching pin!!!!

Sandy's Purse

I made this purse, zippy bag & pin for my good friend Sandy Hancock. I mailed it today to Sandy.
