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!!!!
