It’s the school holidays currently, so I’ve been getting a decent amount of crafting done. I’ve finished those pesky lacy gloves, and a quick piece of instant gratification: an adorable and bulbous little purse.
The gloves have their imperfections, but they turned out pretty well in the end. I loooove the purse! It’s so round and plump and sweet, with its little removable wrsit band (made from ribbon and jewellery making stuff) and the little bow embellishment! It was very quick, and I got to combine several media to create a funky little gift for Jess, a family friend who is turning 15 later this week.
A couple of weekends ago I went to Margaret River to look at some of the various attractions around the area, and while there I went in to a second hand book shop. While there, I found a pile of cheap old pattern booklets!
They weren’t that old, and most of the designs weren’t very wearable, but they are pretty hilarious to look at. I got four booklets for $1.70.
Pictures of the innards to come later…
I have been working on my Sweetheart, and I’m up to the armholes of the back piece…
