Finally, my day is here to share with you my version of the coin purse from the UR Priceless Blog Hop. Thanks Madam Samm and Kathleen, for hosting this really fun hop. I just adore the coin purses I have seen so far.And, inspite of its flaws, I do love mine even more!
Mine had a nice little learning curve but it was really pretty easy to do. Once the lightening bolt hit me, I was on a roll!
You can see my learning curve quite nicely! I used stitches that were a tad too large on this side. But I do learn quickly so by the time I got to the other side, I was rolling!
You can see it was much smoother and nicer.
I had chosen a silver frame, thinking it would be of interest to my dear daughter Carrie, who only likes silver stuff. But I received a lukewarm reception when I excitedly showed it to her the other day.
Hmmmm..........it can just live with me for the rest of its days then!

ReplyDeleteI love it! The fabrics are perfect and flaws, who in the world would notice! Many of us had trouble with the thread.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job on your coin purse and many of us dealt with similar problems. I am sorry your daughter wasn't as excited as you were but you've got a great little purse for yourself. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'm a Carrie that like your little purse very much. I love you choice of fabrics.
ReplyDeleteHad similare trouble with my frame- stitches way too big on the inside! (First time making purses too- will keep doing so as I love the pattern and sewing the handles on makes for great busy work during tv time)
ReplyDeleteCute little purse. I sometimes experience the same things with my daughters, so I chalk it up to "generation gap," and now I don't do anything for them without consulting them first. This way, I'm not disappointed. If I'm excited about something, I confide in my sisters or a friend who shares my interests. From California, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI think it is cute. I'd keep it too.
