Good Afternoon!
How the devil are you all?
Just a quick post today, I've been meaning to share this for AGES, but never get round to photographing it...
to be honest these photo's arent the best... but I'm going to get me a daylight lamp ASAP, and get some lessons off my lil bro...
anyway, I digress...
I made this little coin purse when I first got my Sewing Machine... I wanted it to take on holiday with me, rather than taking a big bulky one... but now, I use it all the time!!
This was my first attempt at stamping on fabric,
I coloured the beautiful Leanne Ellis 'Faraway thoughts' image with promarkers,
and to be honest, its a bit of a pain, you do have to just dab the colour on SO lightly... I'm going to look into other markers specifically for fabrics, as I'd prefer more vibrancy...
if anyone can suggest anything I'd be VERY grateful!
I didnt follow any pattern for this it was really just a case of trial and error, so I have to say I was HUGELY relieved at the outcome...
The outside of the purse is just a double layer of curtain lining, and the inside was from a pack of fat quarters I picked up at hobbycraft AGES ago!
I added a tab in the same fabric so that I could hang a clasp from it, this could clip to a belt, or a bag...
but I've just added a little moon charm to compliment the image....
Here you can see the clasp a little better, and the lining...
The zip was salvaged from an old bag I hadnt used for years!
I added a couple of rhinestones just to add a bit of detail...
I do love this purse, and I use it all the time... it fits a couple of cards in it too!
I hope you like it?
