My youngest daughter's friend Mailei is getting married Saturday and asked if I would make make-up bags for the bridesmaids. She mailed me this fabric so I used it without adding any lining since it's pre-quilted. Of course the holidays are too busy to do any 'extra' crafting so these had to wait until this week. Argh, it's a close call for a wedding this Saturday but these are done so woohoo!
The wedding colors are black and yellow and even though the wedding yellow isn't this bright, the bride gave me the okay to use what I had, this bright yellow ribbon. I stitched on a little lace or rick-rack and added a button and all done. All eight of them!
(Second wedding with this color combo. Must be popular!)I still need to make the bride a little bag for the dollar dance so I'm cutting it close and I need to have my eyes dilated tomorrow after work. I don't know if I'll be able to see well enough to sew tomorrow or not. Hmmm, I wonder how many favors my husband owes me? LOL
I was trying to get this done by Thursday night so my daughter could take these items with her to the rehearsal dinner. At least I got the bags done so she can fill them "in her leisure". :o) That brides purse might have to be special delivery the day of the wedding.
