Metal Purse Clasp Bag

Today while listening to my daughter and step daughter singing together, my daughter playing cello and just a general pj day inside the house with the fire on, I made this purse clasp bag. I had been searching on the internet for a suitable pattern for this style clasp but could not find one I liked so after drawing up a few designs and trying the one I liked most out with cheap calico, I made my first real one today. Its a gorgeous evening size bag measuring 26cm x 21 cm (bag only).

I am currently writing up the pattern and will sell clasp purse frame and pattern together from my ebay store soon, so if you are interested click on the ebay store link here on my blog or go to www.stores.ebay.com.au/Udderly-Addicted-To-Quilting

Hexagon Glasses Case

I made this glasses case for my dear mum for her birthday, it was a labour of love. I love hexagons and saw a bag by Yoko Saito with hexagons needle-turn appliquéd onto a background fabric so adapted that for this project. Mum loved it and says she will treasure it for the rest of her days which I am hoping will be a longtime.

I am currently making a mobile phone case which is virtually the same as this and thought I would attempt my first tutorial. So stay tuned and I shall post the tutorial in the next week or so.
