what is a PPI?
bizi

Proton Pump Inhibitor -- medication used to reduce acid production in the stomach, first line treatment for reflux and ulcers.

Yep PPI is what I don't want. I used to take NSIADS and that's how I got my first ulcer, the second was stress I think, so who knows? I might ask the doctor about a test for H Polari. It sucks having one of these. Anyway, I am going to work on some more purses today, check this pair of jeans out, the rust colored thread embroidery goes down the length of the legs too! I just love this pair:





This is going to be awesome! For a friend who is surviving from cancer and other physical problems, I just know this will cheer her up. I am so excited about this one, I have another I am making that's cut out already, and I hope to get working on this one by Wednesday or Tuesday if I am lucky. Sewing is very relaxing for me for the most part.

the bag is awesome

a new hand made bag will cheer your friend right up!
happy for you.
where do you get these jeans, good will?

That last pair isn't a bag yet, it will be though, and an awesome one to cheer up my friend too. I get my jeans at thrift stores here in town, we don't have a good will but if you do chances are in the juniors or girls section you'd find some awesome jeans! I made a quick tutorial sharing the youtube links I used to learn to make and line the purses as well as where I got he inspiration for the flap, and I talked on This page I made about how I do what I do, just in case people are interested in my techniques.

If you decide to sell, you most likely would get more $$ from buyers on Etsy. (rather than Ebay).

Etsy is a creative outlet for all kinds of one of a kind handmade
things. Also vintage...so your purses have both factors.

Hi, Pam,

The lining with the inside pocket is a amazing.

And I like the one with the flower on the outside.

Mari

Thanks for the link to the etsy purses out there mrsd! Interesting to see there really is a market for them.

Thanks Mari! I really am having fun making them for friends and family members as gifts for this holiday season. I made that flower myself and it went on the first hand sewn purse I made! Hoping to get some sewing in today.

I made six purses last week! And I coded up a Denim Purse Gallery to share them all with you and the world.

The one with the teal green and white stitched inner pocket I am keeping. But the others are all gifts, well the 9 I've done on the machine that I am giving away. I have 4 more to make and then I'll be done for awhile. My next project after that is a killer jacket leopard print inlay with a corkscrew fringe (it's black, if you go to the gallery you'll see my mother's purse with the red corkscrew fringe, she made that and one for me for my jacket!) I need to get the stitch witch (double sided fuseable webbing) and then iron the leopard inlay on, and then stitch it on, put the fringe on at the top of the back yoke seam and it'll be ready for fall and winter! HOORAY! Next after that is a few quilts.

Edited: I decided to add a gallery here on NeuroTalk for my sewing projects and purses, so you can see the things I've been working on and sewn. I haven't been able to do my nails in over a month though, so that album hasn't had anything new to it for a long while. Hope you all have a great day today!
