Last sewing projects for July and Machines are in for a cleaning

I wanted to make a couple more tops this morning. My Babylock serger had a different idea, I could not get the lower looper to thread, I think the air threading was clogged. So with the day off work, the twins at basketball camp and the morning free, I found some sewing to do. Recently, I had purchased the Versatile bag ebook from Sew Spoiled. I thought I would make a couple of purses.

I made 3 from this very cute pattern, which by the way is great.



Here is the first one:

The second one, I had made the piecing earlier with plans for a different purse. I decided it would be perfect for this purse:

Side view:

I thought this purse needed something on the flap but the fabric didn't look like it needed a flower pin, so I dug out this vintage button, just right.

Here is the last one, I omitted the flap, added a couple of inches to the bag and added some ruffles.

A fun morning in the sewing room.

The afternoon, I took my serger to the Babylock dealer, it might be 2 weeks, they are very busy. Please no, I want to pick it up sooner.

My sewing machine went to the Viking dealer, for a bit of maintenance and cleaning.

So no sewing for me for a bit.
