Gold vintage bag









The newest addition to SewExpressiveDesigns. The front of this stunning bag was made with gold-colored satin striped fabric; the back and flap with crinkled embroidered coordinating material. The lining is fused to the front for stability. It’s fully lined and has a loop and vintage button closure. The flower button mirrors the pattern of the embroidery.
The edges of the purse were bound with satin fabric; the same material used for the shoulder strap. Purse measures 10X10 inches with a strap of 42 inches, and has a dart style gusset.
Again, this is a one of a kind design waiting for the discerning wearer.
Go to SewExpressiveDesigns to purchase this item for your wardrobe.

This asymmetrical bag was constructed in the fashion of days gone by. The heavy cotton print portrays a family working on the farm. The flap is soft velvet, with a button and loop closure. The bag is fully lined and measures 8”X8”; the corded shoulder strap is 44” long.
The bottom of the bag is darted as a gusset to allow room for all your essentials.

Old Time School


I have been altering puzzle pieces, creating a whole new focus.
This is my most recently altered puzzle piece, a 1-4-1 titled "Old Time School".
Do you remember those days? A little before my time, actually!

Fabric Postcards


These are my first attemps at making fabric postcards. I have sent the butterfly one in the mail. I am hoping it gets to the recipient. I had a lot of fun doing these - there will be more!

Puzzle piece



This is my first attempt at altering a puzzle piece - it's actually 3 pieces glued together, then embellished with paints, tape transfer image, leaf, rhinestone and foil. It was lots of fun to do - my next challenge will be an ATC, an even smaller size.
