a little sewing...

I took a sewing class my very last semester of college. I honestly left there every time with an atrocious headache. I think I spent more time ripping seams than sewing them, but I am so thankful now that I had an opportunity to learn the basics. I love trying my hand at new things so this past summer I made myself a purse and some other fun things to go in it!

Here is the purse. I will probably never be making these to sell but it was fun. I was able to find fabric in my favorite color combination orange/turquoise!

Here is a wallet and checkbook cover as well. I have a stack of fabric to make checkbook covers with to sell but once again, I am not so sure about the wallet. It was a fun challenge but I made some mistakes and I 'm not sure it would ever look good enough to actually charge people for it!
Here is a picture of the inside of the wallet and the beauty of all my mistakes! The zipper is crooked and the credit card pouches are not quite right! One side is a little big and one side a little small!
Here is a picture of some zippered pouches that I have in my purse. One is for gift cards/coupons, another is for receipts and the last is for miscellaneous stuff that I don't want floating around my purse like chap stick and a pen and so on!

And here are a couple of pictures of some zippered pouches that I have for sale! Each one measures about 5" by 7". They would make a great make-up bag or change purse or one of the uses I mentioned above.

Each pouch is fully lined, has a coordinating ruffle in the front, and has a square bottom so it stands up. I am charging $8 each. Any questions please email me at crbuttons@hotmail.com.
