Bag

I just love sewing bags ...

The latest project that I accomplished is also a bag...

I used the same pattern as the reversible bag
but with some modification.
This is not a reversible bag ...

I make it bigger in size and the rest all remain the same

as the reversible bag pattern...  velcro for the closure,

with internal pocket for small items, and

with a fabric flower attached at the front.

This time the fabric flower is not a clip,

 I sew the fabric flower to the bag permanently...

in other word, you have no choice...

like it or not you have to use the bag with it.  
Hope you enjoy viewing and thanks for stopping by !!

Happy Sewing!!

Ruffle Coin Purse

 I was clearing and reorganised my sewing corner last weekend.

While going through my stash collection, I came across a project

that has been neglected for quite sometime.

 A simple coin purse measuring about 4" x 6" square...

 To make it interesting rather than just a simple square coin purse,

 I add ruffle made from stash fabric and zig zag it with a ribbon on top of it. 

And this is how it turn out to looks like...

Embroidery 101 ... Blocks construction

Today I continue to share my journey in following the
 Embroidery 101 Quilt Along...

7th June... I start cutting the fat quarter fabric,
but I don't cut all the fabric.
  For today I cut only for a block and I start sew it since
 I was so excited to see the result.
 So this is my first block that I've contructed and sewed. 
The finished size of the block is 171/2"...arggghhh  it turn out
to be smaller by 1" ?? where has it gone wrong..
upon checking I realize that I'm using
 the 3"x121/2" for the inner square
and the outer square I used the fabric size 181/2"

As of today 10th June...

I've completed sewed five blocks(and all  turn out to be

 in the  same size 171/2")

and I still have another 4 blocks to finish. 

Now I am getting excited to do the embroidery...

which was the main reason  I join this quilt along. 

I love embroidery... really looking forward to it ...

counting the days to start with the 1st block.  

Happy Sewing!
