Well it has to begin. I have to get down to some work but the weather is sooooo warm and here in England it is normally raining, so I don't feel like doing anything much. Typical!! I have 3 projects coming up. One based on glimpses of China, another on peacocks and another based on sunsets. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm. Chinese lanterns perahps> Paddy field make cool designs? Mmmmmmmmmmmmm. Help!

I'm swamped right now with new designs for machine embroidery and I'm working on my first quilt patterns. I might eventually get to doing the postcards, but right now it's just another thing on the list. LOL

Greetings,

busybug1 said… - Hi Vicky...I use bag patterns that are simple..not alot of pieces with snap closures(easier than putting zippers in and flaps are awkward) but a pattern that I can visualize making simple changes to change the look of the purse...most of my purses you see are made with the same pattern. As far as the fabrics go I look for durability such as decorator fabrics, outdoor fabrics and cotton duck for linings. But, the prints I try to use must be unique and modern but simple that I can accessorize with keyrings, change purses etc. And current colors that are being use in store baught purse seem to attract attention and sell well. I hope this helps...please let me know if you have any other questions....Carla
