Stupid ugly purse

Currently, I'm working on 2 new bags, both using Amy Butler fabric and patterns. Oh, Amy my love. I alone could keep you in business. One bag was almost complete on Sunday! Yes, everything was going great, the pattern was crazy-easy to follow, and I was just top-stitching the body to give it a finished look. Then my confidence got the best of me, and I did some weird foldy thing, and all hell broke loose. It can be fixed (thankfully, since Ms. Butler's fabrics are quite spendy), but it's gonna take some time, patience, and an excellent seam ripper. But my Birdie Sling is coming along swimmingly. I made a gusset. A gusset! And I didn't fuck it up!


Anyway, in my stead, I give you the STUPID UGLY PURSE. My first ever completed bag. It's so bad. SO BAD. Stitching is totally off, interfacing? What's that?, the button loop is too big for the button, etc. It's a red sling bag with a cherry print lining. Cute in theory, awful in execution.


At least the button is cute.
