some of the pressing, three new purses
It's good to be home from our travels. We had a wonderful time, but home is still my favorite place to be. It was good to be back in my studio, too, even if it is a bit of a disaster. Yesterday I finished the third purse I've made since I've been on the push to prepare for the craft fair (now just a little over a week away!).
Linen blend exterior. Vintage doilies on the front. Lined with the same fabric I used for the curtains in my studio. The bag closes with a magnetic snap on a tab that reaches to secure a pocket on the exterior, too. I love it!
I love all three, actually.
This one also has a linen blend exterior, but it also has a stripe of vintage barkcloth on the front flap.
The vintage barkcloth shows up as a pocket on the back, too.
And the interior is lined with that same vintage fabric I used for the curtains.
This one is simple with just one doily on the front.
Lined with Amy Butler fabric that I'd been wanting to pair with a mustardy solid.
I am full of ideas for more and more and more. And I am yearning to get back to my paints. But today I have some crocheted jewelry that needs finishing touches. It's lovely to be cozy inside working on projects while it's snowing outside.
I hope you are able to spend some time doing what you love today, too.

Anne, those bags are wonderful! You've got such a talent for making "granny chic" useful and hip. I bet you'll have one of the most popular booths at the craft show :)
ReplyDeleteI Agree with you the teacup incident! She has it!
