Made this small purse with ume plum flowers printed fabric. The zipper is covered at the sides and the zipper opening is about 7cm in length. The exterior fabric is cotton imported from Japan and I added iron-on interfacing to the fabric. The internal lining fabric is cotton cloth .Size: 10cm x 10cm

Went shopping the other day and saw some pretty Japan imported fabrics. I used my late grandfather's Singer sewing machine to make the little purse. Yup, one of those human powered "pedal like crazy" treadle sewing machine. One of these days, I will take a photo of the machine and upload it here. :) I can solder pendants, cut glass blah blah blah blah but using the sewing machine drives me bonkers. The threads kept breaking halfway, so I went online to see if there are any resources on "how to sew using an antique machine without loosing one's sanity". No solution yet......
