A little progress

My projects are progressing along but I've had a few road bumps. First I could not find the hardware for my purses. After 3 trips to Hancock Fabrics and Joanne's, I improvised. The bag called for a 10mm magnetic snap and I have yet to find one, who knew they were so hard to find. However, I did not mind going to the stores, I had an actual emergency LOL.  I did complete the shirt, yeah!  I just have to finish the hem, but it's actually something I can wear in public!  Here is a preview and hopefully I will have finished pics of the purses soon.  Happy quilting and sewing!

Look out! Here comes the Spiderman!

My daughter and I recently saw the new Spiderman movie and looooooved it. I am a huge Marvel Comics fan and since I have no new projects on the horizon I decided to make both of us a purse in this cool Spidey fabric I recently found and a LQS. The Madison Wallet Bag by Serendipity Studios is gorgeous. I have been dying to make this bag since I got it in Paducah and the AQS show. I've never made any purses and this one looks simple enough.  I figure I can punch a few of these out this weekend. 

I will be making two out of the Spiderman fabric and one out of this cute Mickey Mouse comic strip.

 

 

 

 

Hope to have something adorable to show you guys real soon. Thanks for visiting and happy sewing.

 

 

p.s I am still working on that little top I mentioned in my last post. I wouldn't be normal if I didn't have more than one project in the works, lol.                                                                                    

 

Epic fail!

So, I had delusions of making that fabulous Vogue shirt. Ah no, it did not turn out so well. I have come to realize that as a newbie in fashion sewing, I will have tons of epic fails. However, I am committed to making nice clothes for myself.  I will not give up. So with all that being said, I have no new item to share.  I have embarked upon another journey but I have learned so much in the sewing world.  Another blogger has inspired me to try and make Butterick 5645. I am making the little leopard print number in a solid green knit. It is such a cute little number and I think if all goes well, I'll make a few of these as I am lacking summer tops. Here is a little inspiration until we meet again. Happy sewing!
