Memorial Weekend Fun

I hope everyone had some time to make memories over this long Memorial Day weekend. We have many family members in our family who've served in various branches of the military, and so we always take time to be thankful for the sacrifice of others.

Yesterday, Kathryn & another friend, Suzanne, came over to sew. Suzanne makes the most darling purses WITH ZIPPERS!! I've wanted to learn how to put zippers in forever, so the goal of yesterday was for her to teach us how.... and she did a great job of making everything understandable. In fact, she even took the time to type up instructions for us! How sweet is that??? 

You can see the smaller change purses sitting in front, which are even easier to sew up in a flash! The possibilities of things to make are racing through my head!!

Here we are modeling our purses:
Suzanne, Kathryn, and me...  (and some of our sewing mess in the background) These are so much fun, I'm going to get to work on another one after this posting!
