You know that I was just itchin' to make something out of that 'faith' fabric !
I had a checkbook in mind, but realized that if I used more than one fabric, I might could manage to squeeze a purse out also. I think I have just enough fabric left for the checkbook........we'll see. But for now, I'm carrying this sweet little thing everywhere I go, and letting it speak to the world !
From conception......
To completion.....
A peek at the lining.....
(you're probably noticing that I forgot to sew the ribbon loop into the top seam and had to stitch it on later !)
.....and, last but not least, the back !
By the way, if you take a look at some of my favorite things from Etsy, over there in the sidebar, you'll see a tee-shirt with the saying "I don't know what the future holds.......but I know who holds the future." I ordered one for myself yesterday, painted on a long-sleeved navy tee. I can't wait to get it.......this is the first thing I've ordered from Etsy in over a year.
Today is also the one year anniversary of Hubby's last two strokes.....February 17, 2009. He's a little sore from too much walking without a walker before he was ready.......a little setback that I'm sure he'll recover from soon.
