More Sewing

After lunch I set to work on making a new purse.  My intention is  to make one with some of the leather that I bought in North Carolina last winter.  I have some red, some black, some green and some tan.  I don't have enough of any one color to make it monochromatic.  I will have to piece it.

I have made about four of this particular bag.  I made the last one about 6 months ago.  It was a Christmas present for a friend.  I delivered it yesterday.  Yes, I am the President of the WPC (Westford Procrastinator's Club).  I keep meaning to call a meeting I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

I found my notes, which was a veritable miracle.

But I could not make sense of them.  I decided that the best thing to do was just cut out the pieces and see if I could remember what I was thinking.  I chose to use fabric instead of leather this time since I had to "re-invent the wheel."

I took better notes this time as I went along.  I did forget to make the inside pockets.  DARN.  I love those pockets.  I could have added them when I realized my mistake, but it would have been a hassle.  Instead I decided I would make a purse organizer.   I remember seeing a pattern somewhere.  Here. http://www.domestic-divaonline.com/Site_1/basic-purse-organizer.html

All in all I am happy to have a new purse.  Now I can figure out how to make one with leather.  Ooohh LaLa.
