This reversible purse has been on my 'to do list' for a while so I'm glad someone has had a birthday. No doubt I will be making it for my self, well some day … this bag goes to my sister in law and the tutorial is from Martha stewart http://www.marthastewart.com/article/reversible-purse
It's seems like the bags have taken over. But this 2 birthday gifts for my sister in law and her 13 yr old daughter were a great idea. Since school is about to start, the tote bag I've made for Yaeli will be good for her to take on those short days when she doesn't need to carry many books.
And the not so great sewing project award goes to :

I've enjoyed this sewing project. I've learned alot and it took some try and error but I love the end result. I really used my sewing machine in ways I haven’t got around to before. Using fashion discs for the seam around the appliqué and the tote bag itself was a big thing for a novel sewer like me. So good for me J.
I have to say those were two and a half hectic days. I needed to do this kind of big project for a new be like me in just a few days because my mother in law was about to fly over to NY to visit her daughter and lovely 3 granddaughters. And I really wanted to make them something. The start was this great idea I saw on TV on how to bling your flip flopsso I made one for mom Limor and her tow older girls and of course I thought it would be great to put each per of shoes in a tote bag made by me. And for the youngest who's only a day apart from my baby Abi. I wanted to make a birthday outfit with overall and a tutu and I added a tank top with her initials. So I'm sorry my sweet child that I was a bit jumpy and kept on sewing all day. Now that it's done I promise you its all fun with a trip on a train and a day with me and grandma and your aunt Maya. So here are pics I took.
Sew a birthday outfit for my soon to be 2 year old niece, including a tutu skirt and at shirt. And for her lovely mom and two older sisters I want to make custom flip flops.
Collecting pebbles at the beach for my new old project for the living room. Hope I will finish it some day soon now.
And my Abi is helping me and modeling the dress I made her. The dress is inspired by the pillow case dress pattern but it's actually made from an old maternity shirt I didn’t like so much.
