Orla Kiely Dish Towel TOTE

Again, these dish towels are just too cute! I made a tote bag and a purse from the brown/orange Orla Kiely dish towels. They were so easy. I did make a few mistakes like sewing my handles INSIDE the bag! You learn by doing. I have yet another Orla Kiely dish towel and it's a green pear. I've decided to make another purse since I love this pattern - PERFECTLY PRETTY!

Orla Kiely Dish Towels

I was recently at Target and saw these really great Orla Kiely dish towels. Such a cute and happy pattern. Too good to pass up. I made a few wristlets out of these dish towels. They came two to a pack and I used one for the outside and the other for the inside - Perfectly Pretty!!

New Sewing Machine

I've always wanted a sewing machine but really found no time to take up the task. Well, the time has arrived! I finally bought my first sewing machine. For my first project I tackled a very beginner pattern. Well, that didn't go over so well. Pattern reading is so ALIEN! I did finally begin to catch on to easier projects I found on the web. Thanks to the many sewing tutorials online, I was able to successfully complete a few projects. This is a really cute wristlet.
