So this is what I finished last week:
Eco-Friendly Owl Handbag: Recycled sweater, rescued handle, recycled inner facing and splurged on the new gorgeous Amy Butler fabric.. from a great local shop.
Because shopping local is important too.
Used again, here:
The purse ensemble: check book, tissue holder ( thanks, Cassi) cosmetic bag, and change purse.
( modified, but inspired by Kerry)...
Rose hat, tutu, and wings (modified from the Halloween tutorial from Threadbanger) ..
Did I have fun making all this stuff? You bet I did!
Yes Virginia, Handmade Holiday is worth it. Really Worth It.
But, I better go get cracking on this weeks to do list! I have about 10 more people to make for!
and if I am baking that is about a person a day!
Giddy-up.
Unbelievably beautiful...all of it...especially the owl purse. YOu're the best!

ReplyDeleteLove the purse and all the purse accessories! I felted a sweater last week. It was a first for me. all the little balls of wool in the washer were funny. I also made a purse out of felted sweater.
