6-29 Love that purse 

OK ~ I don’t normally buy any purses for myself.  But I saw this cute little thing at Payless and it was screaming “Buy Me!”   Maybe I can figure out a way to make another one in different fabrics ~ That will justify the cost of this one, right? (not that it was expensive by any means)

6-24 Finished

Big Pleated bag - inside

Finished!  I really like how this Big Pleated Bag turned out.  I learned two things in the process ~ how to make a fabric-covered button and how to use the buttonhole foot on my sewing machine.  The bag’s a lot bigger than the ones I usually carry ~ and I’m torn between keeping it for myself (every girl needs one big bag, don’t they?) and putting it in the shop.  I’ll probably keep it around for a while and look at it because I think it’s awfully pretty.  🙂
