My Singer and I heaved a collective sigh of relief today... we finally finished the owl purse. There were times when both of us almost gave up, but we made it through. As a reward for my Singer, I'm going to dethread her, take her apart and give her a good cleaning and oiling, change her needle, and then let her rest for a while. I was also glad to retire the ironing board and free up some space in my catastrophe of a craft room.
So how did the owl purse turn out? I'll pick up where my last post left off.
I finally got both sides lined
and I added a coin pocket:
The final product (I went with a button closure- still not brave enough to attempt a zipper):
It's far from perfect. For example, one side is bigger than the other. All things considered, it's not too bad for a first attempt. I am only mildly embarrassed to be seen with it in public.

Great job! I attempted my first purse yesterday and it ended badly lol
It's really cute! Congrats. :)
I started to learn to sew a few years back, but didn't get very far.
Thanks guys! It's a little shabby but I still carry it proudly because I'm just waiting for someone to ask where I got it so I can yell "I MADE IT!" haha
