This is what I did today:
Made a purse, from start to finish. When I started out this was fabric and paint:
And the back: (that's embroidery. the interfacing is showing through because its wet)
Hanging up:
I stenciled a piece of fabric, and then made a purse out of it. I embroidered the back. The only thing I'm not taking credit for is designing the stencil- that I found online. But I printed it out, cut it out, painted it, etc.
