I want to show you this bag I made for my friend, Zulma. It was her birthday. I thought the girls needed something to keep their pencils and hair barrettes in, so I've started to make a purse for each girl when her birthday comes.
I found the fabric at a local store, cut it out, sewed it, and designed the button patterns. After sewing those on, I decided to add ribbon so the top didn't look so frazzled. Next came the ribbon handle, and ta da! All done, and I did it all myself with a little help from Mommy. I still need help sometimes tying knots in the thread. Do you like it?

ReplyDeletewow-the purse looks very nice-I bet the girls love their gift!!! Can you find buttons easily? If not I could look for some to bring when I come next month-keep up the good work, Miss Missionary Seamstress-what a neat birthday gift!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, Caroline! Cassie and Lillie are doing a lot of sewing projects this year too. Did you sew it by hand?
ReplyDeleteVery Cute Caroline. My birthday is in October and Abi's is coming up April 29th! :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it!!!!! Purses are so important for girls in our area...I give them out as gifts too. BUT, mine are not nearly as pretty (as yours. I wish I could sew like you.
