My first purse.

I've had an old sweater from Goodwill lying around and I've literally NEVER worn it. I realized the only reason I kept it was because I LOVE the fabric. So I decided to make something out of it.

I made this cute purse by hand (my sewing machine's tension is off and I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix it) and it didn't take long at all!


I cut the strap off of an old lunch box that I never used and it's perfect! I love adjustable straps.


The inside lining is just an old black t-shirt.



It looks better when there is actually stuff inside of it, haha :)
My dog says hello!

Hmmmmm I guess I might need a new needle. That wouldn't be much of a surprise considering how old the machine is. My mom got it from my grandma and gave it to me. I'm sure she didn't use it much as she has her own.

I have googled and googled about the screw adjustment (which my machine does have) and I novicely messed with it which I'm sure made things worse. I'm not sure how tight the screw is supposed to be. I may have to just take it in to the repair shop.

Thank you for your insight! Much appreciated :)
