My offering for the
playground challenge this week uses some snippets of fabric rather than card so I hope I won't be sent to stand in the corner!! I wanted to try out one of the patterns on Debbie Shore's CD 'Pretty Little Purses' so I dug out some snippets of fabric - actually some left overs of a curtain for the outer layer and snippets from a toning flat cotton sheet for lining and to trim the bow. Both of these were lucky charity shop finds from which I've already stitched quite a few projects. I'm sure you can imagine that I still have some left as it is amazing just how many bags, pouches etc can be made from this type of fabric find. This little clutch purse has a clever bow across the front which acts as a fastening for the flap to just tuck in so no zips or magnetic clasps involved. Strips of patterned fabric with narrower strips of lining were stitched so that when pressed the pattern fabric forms a narrow border on the edges - very nifty.
Clever Di has made a pretty 'inchie' style card to inspire us this week using some of her snippets and as usual there are some great picks chosen from last week's entries to see if you follow the
link to take a look and maybe even enter something yourself - as usual a great prize on offer.
