I have finished my felt flower purse. It was quick and fun, just what I needed for a dreary month. (As I type this it's snowing hard outside.)
Here are photos of the front and back of the purse. The flowers were from a Bucilla kit for making felt flowers. I used all the scraps and off cuts to make some more.
The top is stiff and secures with snaps and a button. The bottom is big and pouchy and I think it will good for knitting or crochet.
When I was done, I took the time to clean out my pincushion. My sister-in-law gave this to me ages ago and I love it. I needed to replace one of the spools and that's what prompted the task. Plus, so many needles were buried inside that it was dangerous to pick up.
I took all of the needles out and then carefully pushed out all that had wiggled their way inside. I now have loads of needles to use! (it's the sharp ones I use most that disappear first.
The pink heart tassel holds sharp needles, to help keep them from getting lost. The tiny betweens go here.
As I was putting it back together, the white spool jumped off and into the black hole that seems to have developed by my chair. I looked everywhere, moved things, but no white thread was to be found. Oh, well...
Now it's back to the challenges.
Lovely finish on your bag. The flowers are wonderful!! Job well done : )
