Blues and Greens for the Bride

Over the weekend I attended a bridal shower for a friend getting married in July! I combed the registry to get an idea of her colors and decided to make her a kitchen gift set. I wanted her to have something special and handmade. I wanted her to have something you couldn't buy in a store. Something she would know was made just for her.

Here was her card...

Yes, I'm still on the free motion sewing kick!
Here's a closeup...

I made her a hot pad holder...

And, a decorative dish towel...

And, an apron...

And, they all match!!!!

A good friend asked if I could make her a purse using blues. So, this is what I came up with...

I really love the blues and greens in this fabric. Of course I had to make it different, so here's the other side...

I really like a two-sided purse. It is different (you definitely won't find another one like it) and gives you different options for different outfits. You just carry the side you want people to see facing outwards.

I was very pleased with how this purse turned out. It is the Frenchy Bag from Amy Butler. I absolutely LOVE her patterns. They are so user friendly and Rachel proof!

I sometimes alter the patterns just slightly to fit my taste, but overall it is the same purse. After you use the pattern a few times, you learn what works for you and what doesn't.

I do hope my friend likes it! But, if not...that's ok...I'll make another one!

Have a great Thursday!
