i made the zippy purse tonight using some MM fabric ive had ages and plain black, ive used velcro glue dots to fasten it.

i sewed one on the underside of the button whilst i was sewing that on and sewed the other side on using a zigzag stitch.



I think it turned out ok love this turquise fabric

Thanks I have some woven interfacing hopefully it is a big enough piece for me to have a play with and see if I prefer it. I am too fussy for my own good sometimes!

Love the purse! I don't normally like turquoise but that is a really nice colour and the dots make it even better

I am going to ikea on Saturday to look at fabric! Can't wait

love the zippy purse and spots!! i got some ceriese pink and white pin dots fabric last week to go with the roses fabric but dd wanted it for her purses etc dont know if i have enough of the roses fabric to make a bag now :-(

Top it all off DD is winging her way home now!! lands in Manchester at 1am then catching a plane in the morning back to belfast!! I thought she was joking when she said she wanted to come home a day after landing in Cyprus! she stuck it for two days before booking two flights to get home!!


miss pixie love your bags!! I still have yet to make a bag I cut it out and was nervous in putting the magnetic fastners in but its done now got to put it together!

My ruffler foot came today I had no time to check it out because I was working double shift today, i got it for £6 all in no one bidded on it so was pleased as they are selling for around £62 for a brother sewing machine:eek:

This is my stuffed xmas tree I did last night and I finished it off this morning I had some little bells from a bracelet that I had made for my dd so I put them on the ends Im not sure if I shoud add a ribbon on the top to hang it with as it doesn't stand that well


The fabric is the MM I found from last year, it's called tiny trees

it looks great, why wont it still, have you over stuffed it do you think?

could you cut a circle from card and glue it to the bottom to help it stand better or maybe add a weight in the bottom or on the outside, they sell weights for the bottom of shower curtains from memeory. dont know just me thinking out load.

Hi everyone, some lovely makes on here now, I've lots of bag pattern, but very confused about which interfacing to use and where to buy from, can any of you help me out and give me some advice. The interfacing is frightening me more than making the bag!!!:(

hmo - I've had the Frilly Dilly bag pattern for ages, but no gathering foot, think might need it for that.

hart44 - love the xmas tree
