Another sewn item...


The zippered bag I made the other day did not serve the purpose I originally planned for it...so I will use it for something else.  I actually have something in mind for it.

 Anyway,  this afternoon I decided to do a different type of zippered bag.  While it was fairly easy to make, I did make one mistake...I got the wrist strap on what I consider the wrong end--TWICE!  The first time I had to rip the seam out was cause I got it in a little crooked.  I didn't notice I had it on the wrong end.  The second time it went in perfect...but was the wrong end.  So I ripped it out one more time and the third time sewing it turned out fine. 

Inside you see the fabric used for the wrist strap.

  2. Oh Rose you are so clever. I knew a lady once who made cute purses like that and I bought and some John Deere pot holders---that was a long time ago and when I was at Cheri's last month I discovered she had the potholders. Funny huh

  3. now I want to know how do you know wrong end from right end? I wish I could sew like you do. I would love to make curtains for some of my windows and throw out the blinds. I thought of buying curtains and oh wow are they expensive. of course so is fabric. can you do a blog about what you are going to use this bag for? and add how to tell wrong from right end?

  4. The bag is so cute and so neat. My only complaint about sewing is having to rip out seams and do it over again, and I do that a lot! :) Back in the 1970's my sister and I took a sewing class at the community college. It was a joke and we laughed more than we sewed. Shelby said the only thing she learned was how to use a seam ripper. :)

  7. I use a zipper bag that has two outside pockets in my purse instead of a wallet. The one I have will need to be replaced soon, but I just have not got around to it. This post is a good reminder. Perhaps I'll get to it after Christmas.

    Merry Christmas
