And for the first time in my life



I won something....
A purse contest at the Yahoogroup Msatminidolls , big group ; the list owner is Dana Burton, she is assisted by a very dedicated bunch of gals, like Lesa, Marilyn P and lots of others. If anyone wants to learn whatever about dressing/ making/wigging dolls , there is where you need to be !

This specific purse was stitched to fit a clasp made by Jens Torp from the UK , who is a great silversmith and a very nice man , too. The design was by Nicola Mascall; I bagged it from one of the pillows I had stitched before.
It was stitched on 64 hpi silk gauze with YLI100, a very thin silk thread.
The ruler you see does centimeters , not inches :-). The width is 13 mm.
