The paralyzed perfectionist (aka myself...) has finally decided on the fabrics to use for JemJam's monthly purse challenge based on Amy Butler's Style Stitches. The fabric on the bottom is a vintage chenille (I love chenille!) that I picked up at Feather Your Nest, an antique store in Lexington. The rest of the fabrics are from my stash; the solid is a light yellow color that is a bit stiffer than the others that I plan to use for the handle. The trim is because I love bling, like pom-pom trim. I am not sure I will use it, though.
I picked the colors from the wonderful Stampin' Up Color Coach after finding little satisfaction using the color wheel. I need to add "practice color theory" to my to do list, along with taking a photography course. Just buying an Olympic 12 megapixel was not the answer!
At Silver Bella, my friend Cassie had a beautiful bag made of chenille with a fringe of vintage black seam binding. It was beautiful! She bought it a the Roundtop antique show in Texas, where she lives. I wish I had a picture to show you.
Time to get started!
