Winter White Sculpture Purse

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:

Materials

Winter White Nubby Cotton/Poly Fabric Exterior, Various Purple & Ivory Cotton Prints with Pockets Interior, Key Fob, Free Motion Quilting with multi-color thread.

What was your inspiration?

I'm happy to say my inspiration is Carol Ann Waugh's Stupendous Stitching online Craftsy Course. I can't begin to tell you how many fabulous ideas and techniques I discovered from her class. Great teacher, fun personality. What a great class!

What are you most proud of?

I dropped the feed dogs on my sewing machine, and chnaged out my standard pressure foot for an open toe darning/quilting foot. I used a multi-color serger thread of bright pink, lime green, and cobalt blue for top thread and in the bobbin.

After taking Carol Ann Waugh's Stupendous Stitching class, I had complete confidence to sew lines, circles, diamond shapes to quilt and decorate the exterior fabric for this winter white purse.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Take Carol Ann Waugh's Stupdenous Stitching class and I'll bet your first night's sleep you'll be dreaming about lots of new stitches and techniques you want to try on your next project. Lots of fun.

Yes I sleep and I sew lots. BUT I also do audio and genealogy work at least 4 hours each weekday. My husband and I are about 80% complete (5 year project to restore an 1890's victorian). This fall I'll finish wall crack repairs and skim coat plaster of foyer and stairwell. Room No. 10 is finished out f 13. I'm retired, but love to work. I have two blackboards, and keep a dozen projects going at all times. My husband likes to work too--we are a matched set of book ends. I'd be honored if you take a look at our whole-house restoration website. If you google 1893victorianfarmhouse you'll see it.

Thanks for checking out my new stitches. It still amazes me how much knowledge you shared with us in your Stupendous Stitching class. By the way, I'm following your website and really enjoying it. I have a question about your website, so I'll take a moment to leave you a message there, ok? Best wishes.
