Another Hot and Steamy Day!!

Good Morning!!!

At 7:30am it was 80 degrees here in Ohio. Can you believe it??? Our yard needs to be mowed but I'm not going anywhere near a lawn mower!!! With this kind of heat we're staying inside with the air conditioning on!!!

I've been getting into my fabric stash to see what I'd like to make and I've started 2 projects and didn't like how they were turning out. So instead of ripping out seams, I began another project. I found in my stack of pdf patterns a Sweet Pea Totes pattern. It looks promising and I just finished ironing my fabric for it. And yes, I must be in the mood for totes/handbags/purses because that's what I find myself making.

I'm off to get myself some ice tea and to warm up my sewing machine!! lol...lol...as if it really needs to warm up! My sewing machine is on more than our TV!!!

New Purse

Morning!!

I finished a new purse pattern the other dsy and I wanted to share it with you. The pattern is from Pink Sand Beach Designs and is their Manhattan Bag. It really turned out well. The original pattern doesn't have a pocket on the outside of the bag, so I sdded my own. I curved the bottom of the pocket and matched it with the curve of the bag and I tried to match the wedge strips. I did add the cording also to the pocket design.

Another New Tote

Morning Everyone,

How are you all doing??? I hope your weather has been cool. We've had some rather nice days this past week, though it has rained a lot.

I made a new tote last month that I am using for my cross stitch. It turned out pretty good. I used some wooden purse handles that I've had around for a long time. Here is a quick picture of it.
