I went to visit Pierre in France this week and was finally reunited with a sewing machine. I've been wanting to make some coin purses using plastic bag fabric ever since Olly from Wollies commissioned me to make her one last summer. I decided it was the perfect time to make some more.
As I've just got back from a 12 hour overnight coach journey (turns out Lyon and Bologna, while geographically rather close, are a nightmare transport-wise) I will wait until tomorrow, when it hopefully won't take me an hour to write 3 sentences, to reveal what I made.
In the meantime here are some in progress shots, which I remembered to take for once...

Unfortunately, I had to use this cute fabric for the padding, but next time I get my hands on a sewing machine it will be taking pride of place on another purse ...
I'm so excited to see what you've made! Just from the photos, I can already tell it's going to be beautiful!!!
