20 Feb 2007Almost done with Divya’s fancy evening bag. It’s 7"x3"x1 1/2", lined with fuschia satin and has a zippered pocket inside. I just need to add the beautiful cording I found for the wrist strap, and figure out some kind of closure. I was planning on a magnetic snap but the fabric store didn’t have them. [Update: I found one at another store, phew!] Now I’m thinking about making a knotted ball-type button out of the leftover cord and an elastic loop to pull over it. It would go right where that little red-headed pin is fastening it now.
But I’m worried that the fuschia lining is too garish, contrasted with the black. What do you think?
I'm not really famous. In case you were wondering. But I tried. I once believed that fame makes you real - a perversion of "The Velveteen Rabbit" theme that love makes you real. Guess I equated fame with love. Sad. You can read more about that here.
