I had hooked away on the second half of my newest purse for much of the day on Saturday, steamed it flat and left it to dry overnight, while I started cutting out lining and trim fabric. Sunday was full of promise, and I was hoping to get it all sewn together. With the problems I have been having with my sewing machine lately, I decided to go and visit my mum, and use hers. I hadn't really done all of my figuring ahead of time, and I was undecided about how I was going to attach my zipper (I think there is a reason why I haven't yet put a zipper at the opening of any of my purses to date). I made a couple of hasty decisions in a row that ended up being poor choices, plus I forgot some tools and materials that I needed at my place. I finally gave into my fatigue and crabbiness and stopped shortly after assembling the lining.
Here is the first half of the purse. I abandoned the idea of hooking it completely with nylons, and instead just used part of a pair of glittery gold and black ones (Calvin Klein from Winners on clearance)
I do have some other photos, but they haven't made the journey from camera to laptop yet...more to come in the coming days.
