wednesday night craft night

In lieu of the large list of crafts on my to-do list, Wednesday night has now officially become my craft night, dedicated to all things craft. Last night Jocelyn came over and we started on our long list of things to get done.

First off, I made the vintage purse out of vinyl that I've been planning for weeks. The pattern was easier than I expected. I did make some improvements (lined the inside with a turquoise satin and added a band at the top of the purse), so it took longer than expected. But all in all, I love the purse. It turned out incredibly well, and I can't wait to make a few more for friends.

Inspired by the incredible success of the purse, I went on to finish my gold skirt that has been sitting for weeks waiting to be finished. I had to finish the waste band and then sew on three buttons. Thanks to lots of button-hole making when I was young, I am the master at button-holes. Most people are scared, but there is nothing to be scared about. I think this skirt might have its debut on Sunday. Possibly escorted by the new purse.

For everyone out there dying to get their hands on the action, feel free to join me in weekly crafting or, better yet, comment below on what you are working on. Or feel free to make a vinyl vintage purse of your own. Pictures of the purse will be posted as soon as I can get my hands on a digital camera.
