First finish of 2018

I am happy to show the first finish of this year, Bargello purse.  I have already blogged about it here. I have completed the embroidery yesterday and sewed it into a purse.  

I found a matching zipper in my stash and the purse has enough room to store  pen, mobile and some money.   I added a lining too. 

I found this pattern on pinterest.  Happy that I have finished completed one purse and it is going to the church sale bag. 

Also, I have started one more needlepoint purse with log cabin pattern and it is in progress.  This year I have planned to make a quilt with half square triangles in black, white and red color. Will blog about it in my next post.  My mega cross stitch project is also progressing well. 

I have started blogging in 2011.  And started doing embroidery that same year. I have learned a lot from the net and books.  Last year I have drawn some small embroidery designs and neck designs.  I will be publishing it in my blog in the coming days.  I am having a target of posting atleast one design per month.  I should stitck to my plans this year.  Because last year I have not been on the track as I have planned.  

So what's in your hoop and what are you doing with your needle n thread.  I will be back with the details of my quilt project and progress of  WIP's in my next project.  Till then, Happy embroidering.  

Purse - A sewing Project

I bought a sewing machine, so that I can do some simple embroidery using it.  But I didn't succeed in that. So I started sewing some simple projects.  And here I come to you with a purse.  This time I have attached the zip using the zipper foot and the purse was made in a professional way.  I have followed the tutorial from here.  It came out perfectly.  Thanks Cindy for your excellent tutorial.

I have some Ta..da moments to share with you.The photo session is going on.  Will be back with a Ta..da post. Till then, Happy sewing.
