June New FO

Hi Everyone!!

I've miss to share my May New FO and to ensure that I did not miss the June month I've drafted this post earlier. I did a lot of sewing of bags and stitching during this month. My 1st new FO for the month of June is  this Anne handbag.  The pattern was a giveaway prize that I've won at Clover & Violet.

Second handbag that I've sewn was this Weekend handbag.

I joined new quilt Along hosted by Quilting Gallery - Beginner's Quilt Along. Here are all the three blocks that I've finished in the month of June.

This is my progress with my Garden Steps quilt Along.  We are already at Block nine, and here are the latest block that I've done in the month of June.

Happy Sewing and Stitching!!

Crochet Along

Hi Everyone!

 

That's right...another crochet along for me. I just can't help it.  I love both sewing and crocheting and when I stumble upon this crochet along at LMS  immediately I jump in.  I will use Ruby and California Girl fabrics from my stash for this project.  This is some of my Ruby fabric which I have cut into 5" square for this project.

 The first post  about the Fusion Blanket Crochet Along will start tomorrow at Little Miss Shabby.  If you're interested to join you are still not too late to get your supply.   Head over to LMS to get the details.

Happy Sewing and Crocheting!!

Weekend Handbag

Hi Everyone!!

I've been working on this handbag for a few weeks now and today I am ready to share the finished handbag.

It was made from three FQ Vintage sheet which I bought from Ironsea Etsy shop. The owner of the shop, Ms. Jeni  was kind enough to put together combination of 10FQ Vintage fabric. I  never use Vintage sheet in making bags before and this is my first.

This is how I did the center of the bag using the scraps from the same fabric.
 

Scraps fabric that I used for the center.

This is how the front bag looks like after the center was done.

It includes with internal pocket for keeping small items.

 The finished size of the main body of the bag is 12"height  x 13" length.  It is a shoulder length handbag using medium weight fusible and the pattern is my own. Like many other bags that designed by me it comes with a curvey bottom. This is the first bag designed by me that comes with a flap.   Here my daughter modelling it to give you an idea of the bag size.

 I am very happy with the result.  I submitting this handbag as my entry to Purse Palooza contest hosted by Sara at Sew Sweetness.  Hop over to Purse Palooza flickr group and see what other talented sewers are doing.

Happy Creating and Sewing!!
