A Trio of Teardrops

Here are three Teardrop Purses ....

This is the fabric for the first one I made ...

Please excuse my lack of words throughout this post ..... blogger has changed the way of inserting images ... and I don't like it .... anyone else having the same problems? Anyway, this a lovely cute purse. The beads were rather time consuming ... for the next two purses I made I used invisible thread as I didn't like the way you could see the coloured thread on the inside of the frame. Beading needles weren't successful either - hard to thread and not very strong - I resorted to a normal needle which accommodated every 6th bead! Not your average handmade bag - go on .... give it a go ...... while I try to figure out blogger .......

I've been making bags again ... this time two SNAP bags from NicoleM.
This is the first one - my trial bag ... I have actually made this bag before - quite some time ago ... pre blog days...

The outer material was from a Sydney expedition late last year from The Fabric Store in Surry Hills ... the lining fabric is an Amy Butler ...

SNAP!

Nikki's engineering is precise, instructions meticulous!

Sew, having completed the trial run ... I was ready for the real one .... I have entered a competition here in Newcastle - FROCK ON! NEWCASTLE ... this is my Fashion Accessory entry ... well, this is the 2D format ....And here is the 3D format ...

Fabric - Anna Maria Horner - Drawing Room Collection in decorator weight cotton ..

Cute little purse feet for tap tap tapping on table tops ...

Here she is before the frame went on ...

It's a very roomy bag for such a short stature ....

And now, far more respectable with the frame attached ...

Great shape - retro - fun!

Good luck little SNAP bag - enjoy the night!
