Tilda purse - Made by you monday

Update...

I am going to see if I am a lucky streak and enter this months, monthly book challenge at Heart of Charnwood with this post. 

                       

This is my first time I've joined in with a link party, so anyone new that has popped in, Hi and welcome, it's good to see you. I've picked Skip to my Lou Made by you Monday

Oh my I did it, I figured out how to but the button in post, oh happy days, so now on with the post. 

Over the weekend I made a little Tilda purse. Last year out of the blue I got a surprise when my pen pals letter arrived with it was a summer magazine from Tilda, truth is I haven't really heard of them but I've since discovered their fabric is very sweet, in the mag was a little kit to make a purse, so yesterday I set about making said purse.

Now you have no idea how long it has been since I have made anything other than a envelope cushion cover, (unless you count the scissor cover I made the other week) but this is the year I decided, that I was going to move forward with my crafts, I have been in a cross stitch bubble for so long now, and all I normally do with them is pop it in a frame.

This is the big time it had a template and everything...  so as you can see I cut out the fabric. 

Last night I'd got to this point just had to sew the closing thing on it, I'm sure there is a real name for it. 

Today I finished the job, now it's not perfect by any means, I am going to make at least another one, once I can decide on the fabric use. 

I learnt a couple of and isn't that what it's all about really.

• When you are tracing a pattern add a seam allowance before you cut it out.
• BEFORE you sew anything together check that you have the right sides together.
