I'm not a Seamstress...





...but I think the girls will like these anyway. I'm posting this because my mom asked to see pictures of my recent sewing project.

This taggie bIanket is for Sophia. She has one that is beyond well-loved that a friend made for her when she was born. She is very tactile and still loves to rub and play with tags. I hope she likes this one as much as I do.

I made this denim purse for Bella using an old pair of jeans. I saw one of Bella's friends with a similar purse and thought I'd try it. It was simple. I cut the leg of the jeans, sewed one end closed and added some pretty beaded fringe to the bottom end. I sewed on the straps and this purse even has a metallic button closure at the top. I found these felt flowers and ironed them on and added a few stitches for extra staying power. And, viola, Bella has a purse waiting for her under the Christmas tree. I hope she likes it :)

Well, I'm happy to say that my sewing machine and I are becoming friends~

Have a great day~
Rachel
