So let's do the run down on materials: thrifted linen skirt for the exterior, thrifted polka dot interior, old house coat fabric for the pockets, 2 zippers that were thrifted and shortened, and the $.25 bias tape for the top edging and handles. The only thing that is new is the interfacing.
It's all about the birdie love this summer. And whoa! what a summer. Fourth of July already? I'm leaving tomorrow to head to the parents to be joined by Jeff parents for a good ol' crab boil with pasta, steaks on the grill, corn on the cob, and homemade ice cream. Yummy! Then over to Lancaster PA for a few days to enjoy fireworks and "the biggest outdoor market" ever (so says the husband). I can't wait. Enjoy your holiday weekend!
PS. Jeff restored all my bookmarks (there were lost in the Great Blue Screening on June 2oth) so I can finally catch up on reading everyone! I am going to need another day added to this week.
How very cool... I love the shape of the bag, and all the details you put in!
ReplyDeleteoh I really love the bag!!
ReplyDeleteHave a fun weekend. I just had crabs the other day and they were soo freakin good I want more!
Beautiful purse! You totally should get everyone's rss feed into a Bloglines (an rss feed reader) account. That way you will know when or if someone has posted and you don't have to keep track of bookmarks. You can also log into your Bloglines from any computer that has web access. Trust me. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful LeeAnn! You have done a top-notch job on it.
ReplyDeleteIt's very cool, well done.
