Inspired by the handbag we had just raffled off, I decided I wanted to sew another one of my own, so I dusted off my old Miss Singer sewing machine and have been taking her for a whirl. I had all of the fabric already in my stash and a few weeks ago had found a set of three hand embroidered doilies in a charity shop in Broadstairs. That's what you see as the babushka's tummy. I think the whole purse must have cost less than 3 pounds ($5). Bargain!Have you made something recently that was a great value for money?

Hi Michele, what a fantastic bag, and what a good way of using a doily, it really does the trick, very creative love. Ive got two pairs of trousers to take up, you would like to pop by. With lvoe and hugs Shirleyxxxx
That is so very pretty! And I love a bargain! Funnily enough I've been using doilies in my work recently too (paper ones though) - I bought mine from the £1 shop!!
This is lovely Michele, you're very clever. And you're doing so well with your fundraising. I feel guilty I've not done anything yet, but I will, I promise. hugs Clare x

This is super cute. Can you post the tutorial for this?
In this manner my colleague Wesley Virgin's report begins in this shocking and controversial VIDEO.
You see, Wesley was in the army-and shortly after leaving-he unveiled hidden, "MIND CONTROL" tactics that the government and others used to obtain whatever they want.
These are the same secrets many celebrities (especially those who "come out of nothing") and elite business people used to become rich and famous.
You probably know how you utilize only 10% of your brain.
That's because the majority of your BRAINPOWER is UNCONSCIOUS.
Perhaps that thought has even taken place INSIDE OF YOUR own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head 7 years ago, while riding an unlicensed, beat-up trash bucket of a car without a license and on his banking card.
"I'm very fed up with going through life payroll to payroll! When will I get my big break?"
You took part in those types of questions, ain't it right?
Your success story is going to happen. You just need to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
