Ok now on with the show. I know everyone been hoping to caught a couple of pictures to the purse I finally finished for my blog contest winner "Nancy" the one that won. Remember I had a dress that I was going to make into a purse/bag.

So finally finished it so now you can get a few pictures of the bag.:)

Front of purse that shows off a pretty cherry/ this is also a pocket and part of the handle straps.


See pockets also on both sides :)




Also another sewing project that I started Saturday night and finshed yesterday Sunday morning.
Again no pattern followed just some old jeans I had that I cut out to use to make me a draft.

Fabric: Denim

Notions: 3 navy buttons 3/4 inch and 1 7 inch black zipper

Pattern Description: Jeans/ that is a grayish black color, with 2 pockets in the back with flaps to the pockets and hip pockets in the front.

Pattern Sizing: Sizes 20 plus size

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Didn't follow a pattern used a pair of my old jeans to trace out a draft to make my jeans here.

Were the instructions easy to follow? I mainly used instructions on what I already knew when it comes to sewing. I used a couple of sewing books to get the idea of what I was doing.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? This was my own pattern I liked it all.


Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: There wasn't none.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I totally would sew this again. I am now getting the hang of drafting out my own patterns from old clothes and it fits fine. I would recommend it to those sewers that would like to take that chance.

Conclusion: Love my new jeans they fit lovely. I like that it's not to loose or to tight and it fits in all the right places. I just couldn't believe that I did this WOW :) LOL
