Well, last week, I decided I wanted to try to design a purse and put it together so that it was much more sturdy than some of the other shoulder bags I have made before. Anyway, I have this really great brown/green fabric that is a heavier weight and I thought it would make a super cute purse, so with a little heavy-weight fusible interfacing, an iron, my sewing machine, and literally some sweat, the following was created. Next time I won't use the stuff I used to hold the brown fabric on the handle, because it made a dark lne down the center. I don't mind, I made this one for me! I didn't take a picture of the inside, but it is fully lined and has a pocket.
Also on the agenda for sewing Sunday were the following two items. The book-type item is actually a great way to get organized for shopping - grocery shopping in particular. It is a shopping list and coupon organizer (too bad I don't ever use coupons)! I cannot take the credit on this one though...I found the idea and "how to" here. The pocket next to the pen is for a note pad that I didn't have at the time I took the pictures (I have since purchased the note pad for it). The other item is of course a coffee cup cozie.
Isn't this fabric super cute?
I love all three items and started carrying them around yesterday. Now I need to get more of the fabric for the cozie and organizer so I can make a coin purse and checkbook cover. Then I will have a matching set for the inside of my purse!
My-oh-my, I L-O-V-E being creative!!!
I'm thinking a set of these or the purse would be great for the Craft Swap over here.
Happy Tuesday!

That purse looks completely professional--great job! And I love the little notebook holder, what a great little gift that would be for girlfriends! I've been in a sewing lull . . . you're making me want to set up shop though. ;o)
oh my!! did you really make that purse yourself! how crafty and talented are you!! you need to open your own Etsy shop soon lady!
they came out great! love that fabric. thanks for linking back and sharing with me. and to be honest im not a big coupon user either. i usually just use joann fabrics and bjs coupons, but it comes in super handy for making shopping lists! happy sewing!
