Practice makes pretty
24 March 2004 |
I spent Sunday afternoon re-learning how to use my sewing machine. I spent half of that afternoon trying to thread the needle. I started a new project, a mini project, on a whim. I had no pattern, no instructions and no earthly clue what I was doing. I just had an idea, and I thought it could be cute. My sloppy efforts were unsuccessful.
Tonight, I decided to try one last time, and, voila, it worked! Here is the tiny fruit of my labor: a mini billfold wallet in brown corduroy lined in pink felt.
It's the perfect size for an ID and a couple bucks, and it fits in very small handbags. In fact, I modeled it after my favorite going-out wallet, the one I take when I am going to a bar or a show or somewhere fancy and don't want to lug everything I normally lug around with me.
My next project? A mini tote bag, I think. I'll have to start it sooner than later, though, before I forget how to use my sewing machine again.

Thanks, everyone. There definitely will be more to come. Soon, but not too soon. Maybe not on eBay, but perhaps somewhere else in a web space near you...! christine | March 24, 2004 04:12 PM |
