Purses, purses and.. more purses!

Special Order Bridal Party Purse
Last week, a soon to be bride ordered ELEVEN satin purses for her Bridal Party.. to I set to cutting, lining, sewing .. and then some more sewing! 




In the meantime, a sweet new friend mentioned a week or so ago that she would like a "tinkerbell" grab & go purse.. so I managed to cut some fabric with as many sweet little fluttering fairies as possible..  



then, while meandering thru sewing sites, I came across a fun flirty drawstring purse that I had to make and have.. so all in all, I made 11 black satin wristlets, 2 drawsting purses and 2 "grab & go" clutches.. 
think I'll make my black dress tomorrow.. happy sewing to all!

    Your purses are gorgeous! I'm always in awe of people who have such a great talent too—my sewing machine and I have a love/hate relationship! LOL

      thanks so much! .. and as for the machine.. always use the same type of thread in the spool & the bobbin.. DUAL DUTY has changed over the years so read the label! a slightly bent needle can really throw a monkey wrench into the mix, sometime it pays to just replace an older needle.. if all else fails, read a book or take a nap.

      I find that I really need to be in the mood to sew! .. yep! even me.. who loves to sew!

    hey Anne! thanks for stopping by.. the black suede dress is hanging up .. waiting to be hemmed! I'm desparately trying to organize the office so I can get back in there to sew! just can't stand being scattered all over the house... but it's a slow process, folding fabric, organizing zippers, ribbons, trims and I haven't even looked at paper crafting yet... giving it 2 more days! you should see the dress by next week! :) ~Anita xoxo
