Evening Bags - Smocking by Machine












Sewing - These evening bags were all made using instructions and inspirations from The Boutique Collection CD by Debbie Yedziniak.   The flaps of the bags were smocked in the hoop by embroidery machine and were so much fun to make.  The purses are made of dupioni silk, various trims, beading, and chains.  I have given a few as gifts and have sold a few.  I took a class from Debbie during a Martha Pullen seminar in Opelousas that was hosted by Brambleberry Lane owned and operated by Elaine Richard in 2007.   Debbie has wonderful stuff on her website and is a generous teacher and developer.  She allows her students to make and sell stuff made from her patterns and CDs.  Yea, Debbie.
