Stitch - Day 4 - Rainy Day Purse

 

 

 

Imagine my excitement opening an email from the Sew Daily Blog showing my purse on the cover!!!

It was pretty darn exciting : ) 

 

 

 

This purse uses an easy paper piecing technique to make the border.

I used some of my favorite vintage inspired aqua scraps.

The handle and umbrella tip are appliqued.

 

 

 

The back of the purse has a gathered pocket to hold your compact umbrella!

 

The text print is from Sweetwater and is now out of print.  Their new "Mama Said Sew" line has the exact same print with different text.  You can find it in a few different colors at Sew Me a Song and Pink Castle Fabrics.

 

Stay tuned for a give-away tomorrow!

Happy Sewing!

Merry Christmas

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.  Ours was lovely!  My boys had a wonderful time today playing with their new legos and wearing their mama made star wars p.j's. 
My husband's 95 year old grandmother spent the day with us - it was wonderful!!

My hubs and I were up late lastnight wrapping last minute gifts.  I checked my email and there was a sneak peek at the new Stitch Spring 2013.  I received the best Christmas gift ever - one of my projects that is in the issue made it on the cover!!!!  I'm so excited....I had a really hard time falling asleep lastnight!!

The issue hits stores on January 15th but the digital issue is available now.  You can find it here.
I will post more pictures once the issue is out......I promise it is a good one.  Lots of wonderful projects!!
