On The Town |
I've
been creating dozens of designs on the computer this week, and hope
to find enough time to finish every one of them. On the ever growing
to do list are quilts, purses, journal covers, aprons, pot holders,
and mug rugs. My Singer has been humming every day as I
happily stitch some of my newest ideas. These two are my favorites
from my flurry of creative activity.
On
The Town is a black, bronze, gold, and cream purse that is
channel quilted and accented with a cool retro lapel pin. Two inside
pockets keep phone and keys handy, and a magnetic snap latch keeps
everything inside. There's room to organize all the essentials in
this 10" x 13" bag with shoulder strap.
Sassy Lil' Messenger |
I
prefer to travel light most of the time, and this strip pieced
quilted bag is the perfect size at 8½” square. Slide a wallet,
keys, phone, lip gloss and sunglasses into Sassy Lil'
Messenger and head off to run errands in style. I used a few
black and cream fabrics left over from other projects and lined it
with a black and white polka dot cotton.
I'm
so grateful that my mama taught me to sew!
