Red Riding Hood Purse

I love this purse.  I picked up the fabric in Hawaii - I just had to have it - it's red and turquoise. I made up the pattern and added a felt flower I picked up at Michael's. 

I embroidered the leaves for detail.  I just love the feel of the needle going through felt.  I also love the red checked bias tape I purchased at Joann's. 

Haven't used this yet - I may sell it on Etsy.  Let me know what you think - I may be able to give it up.

I can also put together a turtorial if any one is interested, just let me know.

Here are some of the felted purses I embellished and bottle covers made from the sleeves of shirts.

Here is an apron I made with some of my favorite fabric. The cowboy fabric in the center I have had for about 15 hears. I just love it. I could never figure out what to make with it and never made anything with it because I couldn't bear to cut it cut - then I wouldn't have it anymore - so I have kept it folded up in my stash. Well, I decided to actually sew something with it and I think it turned out very cute.

I loved this fabric - Paso Robles has a allot of cowboy's and made this for them. I thought the fabric looked like a retro bedspread my Grandma had on one of her beds. Really liked how it turned out.

Here are some of the totes I covered with fabric - I liked them all and wanted one for myself. The record purse in front was one I made when Joan Fee and I (a.k.a. Still Crafty After 50) were on our local TV show. We created lots of cute things with records - I will show at a later date. Got lots of comments. Plan to make more.

I created the aprons on the left by cutting dish towels in half and sewing onto toille fabric. I made removable pins from the remaining fabric - the one next to it is a cute Christmas apron. I like to use lots of rickrack - it really makes it look retro.

Here is how I hung the aprons at the show - they looked so cute and were great to keep the sun out too. I sold all but one that day.

Hello -

Haven't adding anything in a while - been busy getting ready for a show. When to Paso Robles for the Olive Oil Festival in the town park. Had a lot of fun and sold allot of aprons. Here are a few pictures. This shows my sweater glass cases, cherry pins, glass magnets and other assorted things.
