Leanne said we could, so I'm going to take advantage of this one last week to get a Q1 finish out there.
Frame purses. Yippee for frame purses! A friend asked for these MONTHS ago, but I couldn't get myself motivated enough to make them. What was wrong with me? They're so easy! Armed with a fab
tutorial and two frames, it was time to get stitching.
I had total freedom to choose the fabrics, but I wanted to be sure my friend will use them. She wears lots of floral prints, usually in blues. However nearly every floral shirt she has includes a splash of orange or yellow. I though the brights in the Echino leaves/flowers and the bright red/aqua combo might suit her well.
They're lined with a little pink floral print and Kona lime. I love a Kona lime liner...a little splash of surprise color when you open it up. Awesome.
In all honest these frame purses were finished last weekend. I just didn't get myself organize enough to take a photo in time. Leanne, thank you for our one last week of grace! I'm off to link up my finishes!
Yay, who doesn't love a purse!
