Next time, I'll really try to get better pictures AND step-by-step pictures. But, I snatched the tutorial anyway from a great crafting blog. For the real tutorial, go to MADE.
(Love that site thanks to my friend and fellow sewing machine lover, Sharla, who introduced us just a few short weeks ago. I didn't know what I was missing! If you haven't been there, go check it out!)
Instead of turning and sewing all of the seams, I decided to just scallop the edges with my machine and trim the excess off. It probably would've been easier had I just turned the edges because with my gargantuan fabric scissors, the edging took HOURS. But, in the end, it turned out lovely.
(Note to self: next time, buy edging scissors. It'd be worth it.)
I finished it up with some elastic thread - also a new love! - and sent it off.
Woo hoo! What should I make next? One of these?
Of course you should make the purse next! Make sure to post pictures!
