My First Handbag

This is my very first handbag that was not stitched into a rectangle. My very first hard handbag.
It was challenging at first but I did it. The straps were the most difficult for me. The linen would not fold straight and I made then to wide. Next time I will do better. I added a very beautiful antique button to hold the bag closed.

I found the tutorial for this handbag here: Sewingtutes
The pretty white and linen cherub fabric & stripe fabric: Au fil du Temps
"T" Initial Lace Monogram: Etsy Shop - Lovepea
Lace I found on ebay

Another Lavender and Lace Heart Pillow

Everyone that comes to my home wants one. So I made yet another.

Lavender and Lace Heart Pillow

I made one for may Aunt's birthday and said "Hey, I want one", so I made one for me using some nice antique MOP buttons and a buckle slide.

I found a tutorial on how to make these here:  THE FLIPPIN NEST

Drawstring Handbag

This drawstring handbag was a free tutorial on ATELIER DE KITTY.
It holds all of my antique threads on wood spools, pin cushion and embroidery scissors and I also cross stitched a wood spool using all Mas d'Ousvan fabrics from SHABBY FABRICS

Thread Catcher

I saw this tutorial on how to make this little thread catcher. I loved it because you can fold it up and take it with you. It was easy to make except my sewing machine gave me a problem so I hand sewn it.
