Cool, huh? It's the first purse I've made in several months, so I had to work my nerve up to start in. I'm always afraid I'm going to make a major screw-up on a project like this, but to my surprise, it went fairly easily. I did forget to put in the fusible interfacing to stiffen it up, but the quilted fabric I used makes up for that somewhat on its own. And I'm still fudging a bit at the seams where the frame hinges sit, but eventually I hope I'll get that part figured out, and meanwhile, a bit of sneaky stitching with plain old needle and thread closed up the gaps.
The Etsy shops have been rather busy the last few days. I usually see sales go up around the middle of the month--I guess everyone has gotten a paycheck. I've been too busy to list many new items, though. However, I've been in one BNR yesterday that netted a sale and today I'm in this one:
Well, my husband is back from a quick run to the store so we're off to do a bit of junking today. So maybe I'll have a "Saturday Finds" column before the day's out!
