We all have some projects "in progress" laying around, garments that we start and work on only intermittently because of our busy lives. Over this weekend I finished not one but TWO of those "in progress" works and it is so rewarding. For next week I have a new long sleeve floral print blouse and a new furry handbag.
The furry handbag took longer than I care to remember. I have to say I am quite satisfied with the handbag, made from a beige and white zebra micro-fur fabric. I have to admit the binding on the bag was challenging however, the most difficult part was working with buckram. Grrrrrrr.... I get frustrated with projects involving buckram and thats why this one took so long.
The blouse is made out of a sheer crepe fabric to allow for a flowing, lightweight, silhouette. While I just love the finished look, this one took me about 2 and a 1/2 weeks, from start to finish. The fabric presented a challenge in this but it was worth it. I will post pictures this week!
