It's me ... I escaped from the computer
Can you believe it? I told myself I can do computer work until noon and then again after supper. The afternoons are going to be mine, mine, all mine! So today I decided to start on a little purse. I had bought a pattern when Laura at Dollmakers Inc had her end of year sale. I've never made one before. See the little cat pocket panels laying on the table? See the completed front of the purse? Oh my. The paragraph title on the pattern was front/back pockets - so that is what I labeled them after I sewed them up. I didn't realize that they turned into the front/back panels. So when the instructions called for the front/back panels I cut out different material, LOL. If I had cut it all out first I might not have made that mistake but I couldn't tell what piece was what from the photo, it was too dark. So I just cut as I went along. But it will still make a lovely little purse for my niece - just without front pockets! It has side pockets though. Plus now I have front/back panels for the next one - can't send a purse to one nieice and not the other. I am learning though and my pattern has all kinds of notes on it - because there were a couple of things left out. Don't these people have their patterns tested like doll makers? They need to take lessons from us! HA!
I think your cat loving niece will be very happy. Ah making purses...that is something I like to Make!!
