The purse is done!
It's done! I have to tell you that making the zipper pocket was very interesting as I had no clue what I was doing. I am really bad at visualizing something from a bunch of words. I can do it with dolls but this was too confusing for me. All the layers of the pocket ended up being the back panel of the lining - which would have been nice to know when I started. I put the lining in backwards too somehow, so the inside zipped pocket - which is usually in the back of a purse - is now in the front. Oh well. I have copious notes on the pattern now. I'm going to rock the next one now that I know what I'm doing!
I spent most of yesterday playing with my computers. I really wish someone else in my house was a computer expert! I took the hard drive out of my desktop (which died) and today I'm going to try to turn it into a backup hard drive for the new laptop. I managed to get the wireless printer kit installed and working - yay - so now I can print from my old laptop. I still haven't set up the new laptop though - this Vista is really different - every time I click on a letter in Yahoo mail the window gets tiny instead of opening the letter. Weird.
wow..good for you Judi...on the purse and on the computer. You are miles ahead of me with sewing and technology for sure....
Like you say..now that you know what the pattern was actually asking for..you will be churning out purses!!
Posted by: Veronica at January 14, 2008 2:22 PMHey! I READ all your new posts but have just been back in town for 5 hours so I'll respond briefly! I LOOOOOVE this purse! YOU may hate cats, but you KNOW I LOVE them! And for someone who doesn't, you made a very fine cat purse! I'll comment more later! MISSED YOU!
Posted by: Kai at January 14, 2008 2:22 PMI would never have known there was anything "wrong" with that purse -- it is so cute! I want to look for some of that cat fabric -- DD#2 would love something from it.
Posted by: JudiA at January 14, 2008 6:16 PMYour bag looks great! Looks like it would hold "all" we need to carry. Vista - it's a bit of a pain - I have it on my new laptop too....
Posted by: Dianne at January 14, 2008 11:52 PM'that purse is so cute!!! You did a great job..and who says an inside pocket has to be in the back!!
You did what to your computer?? You are amazing.
The purse turned out wonderful! I am not a cat person either, but love that fabric.
Posted by: Linda Fleming at January 16, 2008 9:24 AMIt turned out really cute!
I don't think it matters where the inside pocket it. I love the fabric.
Cute bag, Judi! I can't believe you don't like cats.... I grew up with cats and have three fuzzballs that always make me feel happy when I come home and they curl in my lap.
But then, my husband hates snakes and I don't understand that either.
And I'm very impressed with your computer skillz. I wish I was as adept at that stuff. It's a first to find someone not of my generation that's skilled in that area.
Posted by: Cindi at January 16, 2008 11:13 PMWhat a beautiful purse! You did a wonderful job! Again!
