It's a beautiful Monday morning and I'm "wagging" work today - for a variety of reasons, one of which is to indulge in some sewing and knitting time. I got a good start last night, finishing off 2 small pyramid purses. I'm trying out different combinations of interfacing as well as getting a move on with the Christmas presents.
The pyramid purses (courtesy of a free pattern from a wonderful designer Nicole Mallalieu) uses interfacing on both the outside fabric and the lining.
Both purses have been made using a quilting cotton fabric. The purse on the left uses Vilene S320 on the outside fabric and med/heavy interfacing on the lining. The purse on the right uses Vilene S320 on both the outside fabric and the lining. The verdict is still out on which one I Iike best. I have a third one in the making which uses only med/heavy interfacing. And I'm thinking of trialling a fourth one using Vilene S320 on the inside. Hmm...
That's it for now. My first blog post - boring as hell but serves my intended purpose of recording my handmade exploits. I'm off to supplement my chocolate breakfast with something more substantial... maybe some hazelnut chocolate :)
