Making Progress?

Still hard to type with this thing on my finger, but managed to finish my first purse.  I learned  a LOT.  Like 1) use a pattern next time,  and 2) when you have 4 things to measure and you measure 3 of them, it does NOT mean the 4th one is "all good to go."   I do like it, wonky shape and all, but don't imagine I will show it off. I'll use it for my own shopping and errands.  That works for me.

I managed to put a heavy-duty needle on my Bernina to sew this up and I snapped off half of the screw (head)  that holds the needle in place.  So..... I guess I'm stuck with a heavy-duty needle for a while, until I sort out whether or not I need to find a Bernina part or if  a teeny screw will do.  I'll put Joe on that, he loves a project.   Until then, I better go through my stash and find some heavy fabric for a project, huh.
