Cherish here!
I found this really great tutorial to make these fabric flowers and after only one try and several faulty petals we had this beauty! I'm impressed! And it was actually really easy and you don't even need a sewing machine to do it really. The bead was the sneaky part. My stepmother hoards things she'll never use and has a collection of beautiful beads gathering dust. So I set my dad on distraction and took matters into my own hands. Unfortunately on my way back I slipped on something and went flying. The beads were alright but I'm all scraped up. Anyway, it looks great! I'm really proud of it.Perhaps I got cocky. After the hedgiebag was done I decided I would make myself an actual purse out of old clothes. I gathered together a whole bunch of materials and got started. It was going really well until somehow the needle got bent. I got some pliers to straighten it out and the tip snapped right off! I was heartbroken. It was like the sewing gods knew that this would happen to me and I found extra needles stashed with the extra things. I was so excited! I put it into the machine and started sewing, but three stitches later it snapped again.
Right about there I lost hope. So here I am. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.
Cherish out.
I was on a mission yesterday! And it was a busy day for sure! I found a bunch of advertisements for hedgiebags online and I decided that I would make my own! So I went to the store with my dad and we got some bright green fleece and some black corduroy and then exploded over the table. So guys, if you're being crafty with a sewing machine and your table doesn't look like this you're doing something wrong. Also, I haven't used a sewing machine in several years now. It's been hiding under my bed. So this was a first.
Anyway we managed to turn a whole mess of fabric into a beautiful bag fit for a hedgehog! It's not quite done yet. The pocket still has to be sewn on and we're going to embroider it a little bit. But overall I'm pleased. The inside is lined with the fleece and the shoulder strap has a side of each material. What's really impressive though is the flower.
