Playing with Glue and Flea Market Fancy

one side

I'm participating in the great Frame Purse Swap which started over here. Or maybe it actually started here! Even though I made a few of these coin purses as Christmas presents last year I know I can use a tad(!)more practice before I make my swap purse. So I brought out my leftover frames. I used Moda Bakeshop's Pretty Little Framed Purses tutorial. I struggled with the hinge and fabric intersections. Also,the glue is very fiddly. But I'm confident(sort of)that everything will work out.

And while I had the FMF out, I decided to try my hand at making key fobs. I've been so taken with these especially after spotting them on a favorite blog. They are easy to make and lots of fun.

Love your pouch and key fobs! I bought some of the key fob hardware...just haven't gotten to it yet! I'm a bit intimidated by the frame purses, but really want to try them too!

Your little purse is sooo cute! And I love your key fobs. Those little knobs are matching perfect to the fabric or is it the other way around?! ;-)

Hello Deborah...I love your pretty purse (and the key fobs!)and I'm going to read the tutorial. I can never quite get my head around them usually. I suppose the best way to learn is to just have a go!
Hope you are having a happy week,

Tammy@T's Daily Treasures said...

I'm thinking there's definitely a little more than glue involved in your pretty coin purses and the key fobs. My sewing skills are just about nil. Thanks for stopping by my corner of the world. Hope you are having a great week. Tammy

mammafairy said...

hi there, just come over to investigate, 'cos we are both in the purse swap! And I am doing some gentle stalking!
I love your love of colour, and I am hoping that when I get in trouble with the purses, you will be able to advise! Cos I can see you have done these before.... Pretty please?
I am awaiting delivery of some frames so I can have a go!

Janine said...

Your pouch is lovely and those key fobs are gorgeous :)

Those are so cool. I have always wanted to make one, but they look difficult to make.
