Lacy Heart Gifts are another in the series Lacy Hearts.
I made this purse out of black pin-wale corduroy from my stash. The lining is a surprise gift of fabric from my friend Karen. I used a two way zipping zipper in the top of the purse and two neckline zippers for the 2 front pockets. The pockets on the backside and inside do not require zippers.
I used the largest gift embroidery design on the purse.
Yes – more snowflakes!
I couldn’t resist this gorgeous artwork. I immediately had in mine to sew them with gold metallic thread on a white knit top.
If you need a quick what to wear to a (perhaps unexpected) get together for the holidays this will do it for you. A top with fancy pants or skirt and you are ready to go. My top is a simple cotton Walmart top. It is short sleeved but then we get very little cold weather in Houston. You probably have an un-decorated top in your closet to adorn with one of these arrangements or just one or two singles.
Making Lace? Stitch it right the first time. Always keep a spool each of white and charcoal Wonderfil Invisafil 100wt on hand to fill those bobbins and up your embroidery game.
"When people ask for time, it's always for time to say no. Yes has one more letter in it, but it doesn't take half as long to say."

"The conception of people acting against their own best interests should not startle us. We see it occasionally in sleep-walking and in politics, every day."
