problem solved and a wristlet is born

i'm more than happy when my mom has finally requested a purse from me. something that suits her need and definitely to use. instead of making her something which i like, it would be best to make one which she need. although, i had already made several type of purses for her, she never get to use all of them. some she said are so cute to use.. some are just so dear to her and would be just nice to store and admire. so when she asked me to make her a small purse that have enough room to carry her handphone and have a strap too, i'm so excited and straight away sketched some pattern. one of them, is 'variation 4' which i was so eager to try! :) something a bit different that have the zipper in 'L' position. which i think can create a bigger opening to slip in the handphone and does not make the wristlet expand to accomodate the length of the zipper. and ya! i'd decided to switch the paris fabric to this one. fabric = zipper color = availability = yes ! no headache. problem solved! :)

but it was no easy peasy. just look at above pic. what a mess of stitches! it shrank abit after i finished the outer layer. making the wristlet a bit smaller than the actual measurement in my pattern :/ wouldn't want to give up now. continued with the lining which found faults again! arrg! the pockets were too low. and not to mention my fingers were so sored after handstitched the thick lining in.

phew~ so happy to have finish it at last. try it out with my handphone... and it fit! voila! double happiness :)

i really love how it looks with the little crocheted circle attached which is my current favourite thing to accessorize my bags :)

well, small it is but not bad at all.. lol. i kinda liking it myself :} will try to make another in better improvement soon!
