Happy Birthday Nancy
My 'old friend' Nancy recently told me,
"I love meeting new people and finding out that you're old friends."
Yesterday was Nancy's birthday and I wanted to give her something just right {especially after she had set the bar so high with her gift to me last week-- she made a beautiful wall hanging made entirely out of recycled materials including parts of a piano. Sounds interesting, eh? I will post a picture of it soon.}
On Saturday, we had a sewing morning, which turned out to be a wonderful collaboration of ideas, advice and a bit of sewing. It was so much fun that I just kept on sewing after everyone left and the result was this adorable little purse for Nancy's birthday.

I turned out perfectly, and I didn't even have a definite plan in mind when I started it-- it just kind of made itself. I wish every project turned out so well! Happy birthday Nancy.
Here's the tag.

My favorite part is the "Happy Birthday Nancy" tag on the inside. so cute. Talent abounds in you my friend!
Oh so cute. I'm jealous for your talent!
It did turn out perfectly! Thanks for using your talents to make me a birthday present, and then using more of your talents to write about it :)
Now, "Old friend" you must teach me how to sew so well!
that is so cute. you really did it without a pattern or anything?
It's not nearly as hard as it looks. It's pretty much just a piece of fabric folded in half with stitching up the sides. Then you add a couple pleats, a button and a handle for good measure.
Wallah, you have a purse.
PS- what IS difficult is spelling "wallah". I even tried to look it up at m-w.com.
kara- wallah is actually spelled "Voila!" It's french for 'and there you have it' or something like that. In french you really do pronounce the V but we americans have... well... americanized it. So... VOILA!
That bag is just delightful...the print, the colors, everything. I love the tag! Soo cute! I am jealous of anyone with mad sewing skills.
