I've been doing a little sewing and made a couple of hand bags with some of the fabric I bought at the Quilt Expo. I used some lovely Japanese prints and some Amy Butler prints. I am such a novice but I have noticed a couple of types of fabric I really like! Terri N. Says I am a name dropper! Maybe but it is my way of remembering what I like-connecting names to things helps me keep those things in my brain.
This is the Japanese prints and the bottom stripe I got at the thrift store here in town for 75 cents! I try to interface these pretty stiffly so they stand up. It seems that they will wear better if they are quite firm. This lining I also purchased from Susan. Can you tell they are sheep? Susan has some really nice sheep fabrics. Don't remember the price off hand but these are hard to find prints!
I don't know if you can tell but the lining is some pink sheep fabric that I bought from Susan's Fiber Shop. It is really sweet.

The stripe fabric is a pocket.
Nothing much else to report. I just finished a book by Mary Norton of The Borrowers fame called Are All the Giants Dead? It was illustrated by Brian Froud. I love his work. He really draws a wonderful goblin!
Aren't these wonderful?
