Tada! I finally cut into the quilting fabric I created! You can kind of see the blue liner I sewed onto the back...this is so the inside of the purse isn't rough when it's complete. I'm really liking the result of the shape I picked for the purse. I'm glad I changed my mind at the last second! I was supposed to get to Hobby Lobby this weekend to get metal circles for attaching the handles to the bag itself, but unfortunately I didn't make it. Right now I'm considering making some side panels out of the fabric my mom really liked, to make more space in the purse. I need to work on it throughout the week to complete it on time.
It's hard to connect this to what we're reading...as it's about food production. However, this week I've been very conscious of what I've been eating. Everytime I see a hamburger I shudder now a days. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the book in the next couple of weeks.
This is looking really great. I know what you mean when you say that you didn't expect that this would take very long to put together, because I didn't think my project would take very long. But I'm embroidering and I can tell you that it, like sewing, takes a very long time.
ReplyDeleteI really admire the time that you are putting towards the different panels because it is not something that can be done quickly. Looks great so far!
