Newly Completed Purses

Lotus Pond in Pink

Flower Bed in Pink

My very first piece of Long Accordian Purse made last week (Proud Peacock in Herb Green) is already sold! That's very encouraging, even though I knew that customers usually buy what they like based on the attraction to the fabric print ^^

Anyways, that very first piece was made with my mom guiding me along at each step. It wasnt as difficult as it looked (to me). And I went on to make a 2nd piece (Lotus Pond in Pink) this time, I wanted to do it entirely on my own, without asking her for any guidance at all.

However, the process kept getting "interrupted" by schedule/kids/distractions etc... & by the time I sat down to get started again (few days later), I realized that I've forgotten some seemingly un-important (but key things to note about) technical know-how.

Fortunately, my mom was at hand to give me advice when I "got lost" ^^.

I went on to practice on a 3rd piece (Flower Bed in Pink) immediately, while those instructions & earlier practice remained fresh in my mind.

With the 3rd attempt, I became more familiar with the procedure & knew that I've just added a new skill to my (sewing) repertoire :)

Thank you Mom for your faithful instruction on this!
