Sorry for the silent blog of late....
No....I wasn't at the Sewing Summit, but I did have plenty of sewing with friends....it has just been a very busy weekend! I would have loved a visit to the Summit, but college books {and fabric buying} are priority at our house so no trip to the summit this year :)
Little by little, I have been building up my collection of Japanese fabrics. Now I am ready to create my own 'fabric' to use in Christmas gift making....
This coin purse will be a great little gift to tuck into a bag.....
Just an easy two piece purse template with some fun raw edge applique....
Add some fun lining fabric and batting between the layers....
A sweet button or a snap and there you have it!!!
Hope you had a wonderful weekend - did you go to the Sewing Summit...or maybe sew with friends :)
Happy Monday!

I have so much fun at the Sewing Summit! It was awesome! :o)
Funny thing ... I was going to post about my new found love of Japanese fabrics!! :o) I was able to pick up a couple of fat quarters while on the shop hop bus in SLC. :o) Will show soon. :o)
Have a great day. hugs. Trish
As always, totally wonderful Mary
mmmmm those fabrics are so nice! The purse is really cute, lovely gift!
Fabulous purse Mary! The colours have a vintage feel topped off with a cute button! What a pleasure it would be to use, even if I do find, sometimes, having a purse of coins a nuisance! ;-)
Too cute : ). I need to start working on some gifts....
