So I've had this urge to sew something lately, but it's kinda hard when your moving and your sewing machine is still in a box. Well a couple weeks ago in Wenatchee my sister Marnie mentioned she wanted to make a purse. "No way, me too!!" I just hadn't found a pattern that I really liked yet. Well going through my mom's magazines, I found a cute purse in Martha Stewart's Living magazine, it had a picture of the purse and of the pattern and the website to go to to get it. I thought maybe it would be a free download, 'cause that happens sometimes, well it wasn't free. So I decided to free hand the pattern myself, easy enough right? It was an easy pattern, but putting it together we weren't sure about. Well after a couple hours, and with Preston's help, we came up with this:
Not so bad, right? The next one I want to make a little longer. I like the width though. I've never made a purse or a purse with lining for that matter. It was fun. Marnie and I had a good time. Her purse you can see in an earlier post, 4th of July, it's on her shoulder made of a red and white flower print, very cute.
A few weeks ago I discoverd a new sewing website. It's
http://www.modabakeshop.com/ . It has the funnest and cutest ideas. Step by step instructions with lots of pictures. If you like to sew you have to check it out. I don't know how it took me so long to find it. I love, love moda fabrics, they're my all time favorite.
I'm hoping this summer I can get some fun projects done. I just need to set up my sewing machine and get at it.

We must be related because i think i might have been eying the same thing from Martha Stewart's magazine. Was it the July issue that had sugar cookie spoons on the front cover. When i was looking at the magazine i even wrote down the link for a purse made out of fat quarters. Your purse turned out great and i love the print. My favorite fabric prints are from Amy butler! We don't have a fabric store around here like the one you had in Lehi, i wish! Your so good at doing craft projects, i find lots of ideas but never do any :)
Have a good day!
Have you seen the latest pictures of my chubby baby :) ?
That is ADORABLE! I love your fabric too! I am so impressed that you came up with your own pattern. I am not talented in that department at all! Great job!!
Good job Lysie Annie!!! I love the look of the purse hanging on your green chair and the curtains are hang with accessories around! You have been busy! Mom is in Olympia with dad I drove over this morning to celebrate our 41 anniversary after dad & I get our haircuts done around 5pm then it is off to Red Lobster for dinner! I plan to go back to Wenatchee Tuesday & clean things up and continue the watering after the horrific wind storm we had Sunday! Thinking of you, Love ya, Mom PS I just got a really nice email from Emily Durr updating us all on her family!!! She would love to hear from all of you find her on my friend list on FB!
You are so talented! I want to be you when I grow up. :)
