you make my day
Two other projects I was able to finish before packing up my sewing machine for the move were 2 more linen pleated purses… I even decided that one of the purses should be for me, since I wanted a new purse for the move. (Because everyone knows you need a new purse when moving right? ;) I love horses and riding, so when I first saw this West Hill fabric by Heather Ross I had to order it.

This fabric is even better in person too, since it is a really soft cotton and such lovely colors. The green really goes great with the neutral colored linen. Of course I added 2 pockets inside, the bigger pocket fits my i-pod with some room to spare and the smaller pocket fits my cellphone. So no more digging to the bottom of my purse when my phone goes off.
The other linen pleated purse that I made went to Capello… Can you tell that I have a bit of this Katie Jump Rope fabric in my stash? :)
I have almost used all the green colorway up though, so I just have the blue left. If there is any interest, I might make one or two out of the blue colorway and stick them in my shop. Although it will probably be at least a few weeks before I get around to that…
Thanks to Regina of Creative Kismet, Ashley of Handcrafted Happiness, and Niki of Knockout Niki for tagging me with the “You Make My Day Award.” I was supposed to list 10 bloggers that make my day, but honestly I can’t just list 10. Thanks to all of you who stop by my blog to hear my rambles and leave comments! How about I just give the award to all of you :)







I love these bags.
And forgive my forgetfulness, but is it your own pattern?

Those are lovely! I like the peak of bright fabrics in the pleats.
