Completed projects
Zakka Style Sew-Along project #22: Pleated Coin Purse - It's crazy that with a hobby you love there are actually projects that strike fear in your heart! (funny, but serious) And this innocent-looking metal frame did in mine. But it needn't have. I chose a couple of fav fabrics, followed the instructions in the Zakka book to a T, and before long I had a darling little purse pre-frame. I did veer off then and take a try at sewing my frame on, since it had sewing holes that were calling to me. Since then, I've heard horror stories about gluing in frames, but undoubtedly, I'll need to try that one of these days too. Cuz let's just end here by saying this won't be my last frame purse. (complete post here)

ReplyDeleteWow, well done you. Now I have a bunch of things that need to get done before Sewing Summit, can I send you some? You know, now you have all that free time and all... ;o)
ReplyDeleteYour second to last zakka project looks very pretty. Love the little heart you hung on it (o:
ReplyDeleteI think that having a list of Upcoming Projects counts as WIPs! Love the message board, too!
ReplyDeleteAs always your projects are so very cool. The pleated coin purse is darling! Savor the brief moment. :)
ReplyDeleteSo it's 6:30 a.m. And after reading your last post, I want a cheeseburger! Is that breakfast food? Enjoy some down time while you think of new projects .
ReplyDeleteone more zakka for you, I bet the weeks won't feel the same without it.
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you. I've have no active progress on anything right now, mostly waiting on Mr. Mailman. :) I did make a passport wallet for my sister on the weekend but I'm waiting until she gets it before I post.
ReplyDeleteNo projects in the works? I didn't even know that was possible! Glad you got a little break!
ReplyDeleteThe message board is really neat! I bet you have lots of projects in your imagination even if they aren't quite coming together yet in the sewing room!
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of jealous that you're all caught up! Looking forward to the message board!
ReplyDelete"Caught up" !! those are two words you never see/hear in a quilters world.. you are far too productive missy - more vineyard dates are necessary i guess, start slacking off a bit you're showing up the rest of us :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your little get-away. Sound wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteGosh you should be glad you're all caught up. Though it does tend to leave the airy 'what next' feeling =D
ReplyDeleteI love all your zakka projects :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous stuff! Glad you've not drowned in polaroids ;)
ReplyDeleteNo WIP's that is CRAZY! I can give you some of mine! LOL
ReplyDeleteThat purse is amazing. It looks very sculptural, very artsy. I have to say that purse frames strike terror in my heart, but if you were able to finish it, maybe I can too.
