So I'm getting the hang of the purse thing. This is from some of my thrift store fabric.
Those magnetic closures are so expensive, so I've been making flaps/buttons.
I tried covered buttons this time and it was so easy!
My new sewing machine has an automatic buttonhole stitch/feature so it's super duper easy to do a perfect button hole now!
I had a little scrap left so I made a tissue holder as well.
These sew up in a quick minute!
I even got some little labels!

Linking up with Amanda Jean at Crazy Mom Quilts, Braggin' Bout My Bag with Chris, and Gettin' My Whoop On with Sarah!
I will actually have a 'just me' day Saturday (something I only get once every two weeks), so I'm hoping next week I can show you a finished polka dot baby quilt!

Edited to update: Sold! My very first Etsy sale! Yay me! ;-)
That's a very cute bag. I like the button closure. I wish my machine would make buttonholes. I like the tissue holder, too. I'm going to try to make one.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty purse. I recently started making bags... need to make a purse for myself here soon!
ReplyDeleteCute purse, and good score on the fabric!
ReplyDeleteSince purse findings are kinda pricey, I have purchased thrift store purses and re-used their metal parts. If the bags are $1 or $2, and have a magnetic snap (often two!), plus some feet, a zipper, maybe sliders to adjust the strap...it's a lot less expensive than buying each of those pieces at a retail store.
I love your purse and the tissue holder! Have fun on your "me" day, I wish I had more me days myself!
ReplyDeleteVery nice job! :)
