Purse finished !!!!!

Hi Everyone,

Well my purse is finished.................................................

Sort of!!!!!!!!

I do have zipper problems. The pattern called for an 18" zipper. If your zipper was longer they gave you direction for shorting it to 18". To get the type and color zipper I wanted I had to buy a longer one and then followed their instructions. But now I have the ends that do not look very good. The one side I could live with, but the side I cut off is showing on the other end......................................

The pattern has you fold them to the outside and put decorative buttons over the ends. But I don't want to leave the cut end exposed, even though I sewed across the teeth to stop the zipper from coming off the end. I think I might just tack them to the inside. That's what I did in the first picture. I will ask the girls at our meeting tomorrow for their input. Maybe someone has an idea for me.

While trying to complete my purse yesterday I had a friend that wanted to help!!!!!!!...............................

This is Buddy---- short for Orange Buddy!

Have a great day everyone.

Back to quilting,

Take care,

Judy
