My new purse! Notice how the straps are already straining. I manage to fill whatever size bag I have. This even has a magnetic clasp and pockets inside! I am so proud of myself! The fabric isn't my favorite, but I had it on hand.
My favorite part of this photo is my head shadow! Other than that, it was my first time with machine applique and I hope to get better at it, because I will be the first to say, this is clearly lacking. I have some more, cuter ideas ... and it really is cute straight, it is just the angle or something.
I made a couple more today and now I am addicted! Thanks for commenting! Your postcards are coming!
This is a fanny pack style hip hugger tiny bag I made for Sari for Valentine's Day. I just crocheted it up last night while watching tv. It is just big enough to hold a cell phone, and some money, honey! Sari is just tiny.
If you can think up fabric postcards, I'd really like to see what you come up with next!!
ReplyDeleteI think the purse is cute! And with pockets and everything! You really are a domestic goddess! The fabric is fun and springy! Can't wait for spring!
Love it! Send me one of those postcards, I'd love to see it.
ReplyDeleteI love them! Super cute! :)
ReplyDeletep.s I tagged you on my site!!
You are one of the most creative people I know, and I wish I had 1/10 of your talent! Everything is just adorable--and I'm not just saying that so I get a postcard:)
ReplyDeleteReally cute bag, brings back childhood memories from the 70s. You are very crafty! But I totally agree about forgetting the house...except mine is reversed. If I'm working on a project, I start looking around and start cleaning, and soon, I have an unfinished project..once again.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! Your postcards are on their way.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think of the fabric postcards- I think they are a holdover from the Victorian era. My friend sent me one and I thought - I can do this! Hers is MUCH better, but she is a professional quilter.
It is fun! I am thinking of Valentine cards now...
The "Be Mine" fanny pack is absolutely adorable. You should sell those. I'd buy one. Katherine would love it.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a regular sewing machine or an embroidery machine? I LOVE LOVE LOVE my embroidery machine! I was able to make enough doing a little monogramming and embroidery for others that I paid off my machine in about 6 months. I used to have a website with all of the things I made, but once I went back to work full-time, it was just too much. I'm looking into getting a bigger machine and focusing on an embroidery business. (I did the shirt Maddie wore to school on her birthday.) Embroidery is really big in the south. Everyone wants shirts, bags, etc personalized. Is it the same in Spokane?
ReplyDeleteI WISH that I had an embroidery machine!! I love Maddie's shirt! This is just a regular machine. You are such a genius, Wendi! I LOVE Maddie's shirt!
ReplyDeleteI got my postcard today, and they are even cuter in person!! You really could sell them, as well as the purse and fanny pack--they are all wonderful! You are amazing, Tif! Love,

O.K. the fanny pack is seriously cute. When you told me on the phone it sounded cute but I love the picture. I still think you are a domestic goddess, not a domestic procrastinator.
