Getting ready for the busy season at Canton and I haven't been blogging much. I do get on face book and pinterest, it seems to be faster for me. Come on by and visit.
I think I was beading me wedding dress up until the night before the wedding. Still have it just wish I could fit into it. 
Then this is us leaving for our Honeymoon. Made our going away outfits, even his. Wonder if I could get him in another one. I think he would of wore anything at this time, young love. LOL
Baby on the Go Bags, handy to carry for a short trip.
And I can't say I've been planting and seeing to our Garden, my husband takes care of it, I'm waiting to do some canning. I just don't mix with HEAT, staying in and sewing has spoiled me to the air conditioner. This is an earlier picture and it has taken off and soon to be picked.
Cut the poster board to fit and slide in the back of the frame. You can tell this frame is old, has the good old vintage look.
I forgot to take a picture before I opened the tiles and had to undo the wadded wrapping. They were $9.99 with 40% off and they come with the sticky attachments to adhere the tiles to the poster board.
Then peel and put the sticky squares onto the back of the tiles
This is a child's chair and I will show you I drilled a small hole in the seat. 
Back to the sewing room to make Little Girls Dresses for the next show. I wanted to venture out from the dress that always sales to something a little different. It has been fun mixing and matching patterns and coming up with new items, even using a quilting ruler to add more detail. Love the vintage look for adults and think it really is cute on little girls for photo's. 
Little Girl's Purse TutorialSupplies Needed
2 Fat Quarter (enough for two purses) I should of used two different fat quarters so you could tell the right side of the purse from the wrong side. Sorry.
1 piece of batting 18" X 22"
2 pieces of binding measuring 2 1/4" X wof
1 Piece of ribbon 30" long for handle
Velcro
Large button of your choice
With 2 fat quarters sandwiched between batting I quilted the whole piece. It is easier to quilt a larger piece of fabric and you have two purses in no time. Quilting can be done anyway you choose, see mine below.
Take one piece of fabric and fold from the bottom up to 7 1/2", see mark below. Iron crease on bottom fold to mark fabric. This is the bottom of the purse where you folded it.
I took a saucer at this point to round off the top edge of the purse, you can use anything to make a curve.
This is how it looks before sewing.
Sew together ends as shown below. I put of piece of tape just to show you how to piece the binding together.
Now press binding in half, long edges together. I love pressing on a towel.
After attaching binding you trim away ends.
Fold over binding and pin down, if you use these measurements and fold it over the top edge it will be longer in the back and you will catch the seam when you sew the binding down on the right side of your purse. I sew in the seam and you cannot see it from the front.
This is how the inside binding of the purse will look.
Now attach binding all around the purse outer edge and curve. Go slow around the curve. Cut small slits around curve so it folds back easier. I don't trim my fabric away due to wanting the 3/8' seam, so the binding folds around it at the right measurement. Then fold back and sew on the right side of the purse in the seam.
You can use any width of ribbon, but mine was a little wide so I folded it in half and stitched it together.
Attach ribbon to purse on the inside where purse opens and sew on Velcro. I used what I had and I know tan does not go with these colors but gotta work with my supplies.
I embroidered "Be Mine" several times and cut out the circles for the big covered buttons.
Attach button and you are finished. I hope these instructions are understandable.
