    Default My first Swoon Pearl - won't be my last :)

    I finished this this morning and gifted to a friend for her birthday - she loved it, and my friends asked if I was taking orders
    I sure don't make it easy on myself when I try things for the first time - I had to go and use home dec fabric and faux leather trim - which certainly made it interesting on some of the thicker parts when sewing...
    Learned some things with this one - like I need an industrial machine if I am going to continue making bags
    I'll be making more of these...

    Isn't that fun to make??? It's almost instant satisfaction, it's so quick! If you need a lead on an industrial, I might know just the place!!

    I'll keep that in mind! I can't really look at the moment, just dream - but hopefully soon...
    One good thing is that soon I will be switching rooms with my daughter - she wants my tiny sewing room as a bedroom, so I'll get her room which has at least twice as much space and two big closets. That will help me immensely!

    I love the fabrics you chose. Does your daughter realize that she is enabling you?

    I'll tell you, Walter was less than $700 and he came with free shipping! He is going to be worth his weight in gold. Let me know when you are ready and I'll give you the info.
