Mardi Gras Purse From Stupendous Stitching-like fabric
RipStitcher Intermediate Member since 5/28/12 Posts: 1401	Login to reply to this post 1 member likes this. Date: 12/16/12 6:00 PM I don't know where I posted earlier.... I thought I had a picture up of the fabric I embellished... but can't find it now. So let me start over: When I got my first machine in 1975, with all those cams to make decorative stitches, I took a class on "Crazy Stitches". I remember making a funky table runner back then. I got re-inspired to do this all again after reading all the buzz about Stupendous Stitching Class on Craftsy.com . (that class is on sale again, by the way!) Here's one of the pics from my blog: This was a lot of fun to make. There's more pics here: Mardi Gras Bag This one was made up entirely of fabric from my Great Craigslist Fabric Acquisition of 2012... right down to the pocket in the lining. I think I'm going to do the next one up out of selvedge edges... -- Edited on 12/17/12 12:35 PM -- ------ nightowlsally.com On my radar someday: Babylock Serger, and some machine for travel. My dearest wish is to have Bernina come out with a machine that doesn't give me a reason to *not* buy it. 2012: New Elna Lotus (mostly for granddaughter), Red Elna Press, Horizon 7700, Gidget 2 Table, Babylock Ellisimo Gold 1970's: Elna SU62 & ElnaPress

I am working my way through the Stupendous Stitching class and it is so much fun. I never knew what to do with the stitches on my sewing machine. Being a garment sewist, this was an eye opener for me. And did I say it is fun?

Date: 12/16/12 7:49 PM My daughter bought me the class... and to be honest, I did enjoy having it play in the background while I was drinkin' wine and working on the stitching on this bag. When I looked today, the class was on sale for $19.99 again! For $20, you can't go wrong. She had some really neat tips and ideas. ------ nightowlsally.com On my radar someday: Babylock Serger, and some machine for travel.
