Blooming Bag Continues

I have spent the morning trying to come up with a name for my new purse. Just to name it the simple name of Blooming Bag. Was it frustration that made me choose this name? Yes, yes, yes!!!! I’m not very good with naming my work. Well, back to the bag.

I don’t know about you but I hate shopping. It means I have to get dressed in better clothes and drive to the store. Ugh!!! I needed a metal zipper for the hidden pocket on this bag/purse. I have several used zippers I have gotten from my mom, all too long. So I went online and found this site here that had a tutorial of how to shorten a zipper. It took only minutes to shorten the zipper from 18” to 7”. I will save the extra zipper pieces for another project. I’m going green.

Scrappy Pincushion Swap Round 3 continued

The next step on the Heart Pincushion was to add a beaded lace edge. After one row I just couldn’t stop so I added a second row. Then the 3D fabric flower that I was planning.   I was having so much fun that I made one for myself and created Double Trouble!!! This is still not the final. More fun to come!!!!
