Breast Cancer Purse

Recently I attended our local OSU Extension Office Sewing Smorgashbord and this year the challenge was a breast cancer related purse.  In the past I have made other tote bags with breast cancer fabric and so I decided to enter.  Remember my last purse I made, see here, well I decided to use the same pattern for the breast cancer purse, hoping to win a prize, I wanted a ribbon shaped button and couldn't find it so I went on the search at Hobby Lobby and found a glass ribbon necklace dangle to use as the button and really like the look of it on the purse.  Again I'm not a very good photographer but the picture is viewable,

 

 

well I didn't win but I'm happy with how it turned out.  My friend Penny is very involved with her local American Legion Post and they always do special things in October for breast cancer so I'll probably donate it to her for their activities.  It was fun to make and I enjoyed entering even if I didn't win.

 

Well I hope everyone is enjoying the weather even if it is still very chilly here in Ohio!!

 

Until next time,

Jodi



Update on Projects

I can't believe it's been more than 2 weeks since I last posted, although I haven't been doing much sewing, I just can't seem to get myself motivated.  I have completed a couple projects, the first one is another special order

This seems to be a very hot item, I think I've made 5 or 6 of these Breast Cancer bags now.

The second thing I've done is made myself a cover for my new toy, a Droid tablet

I'm not tech savvy enough yet to figure out how to take these 2 pictures and make them 1, maybe someday when I can get my son-in-law to come give me some lessons.

I do have another special order, my cousins daughter has ordered an autism fleece blanket, I have a picture in my head of what I want it to look like so we shall see if it turns out.  Hopefully I'll get this done by this weekend and I'll have more pictures to post.

Until next time,

Jodi
