finishing small projects make you feel good

While I was looking in one of my boxes of sewing projects for scraps for my fabric journal I came across this little felt change purse I had cut out. I stitched it up with small buttonhole stitches in varrigated thread. There was a strip of light orange felt next to it about ten inches long and a quarter of an inch wide which had been cut from a piece of felt with pinking shears, I used that to coil up and make the flower center. Then I cut six flower petals and sewed them on the purse flap in a circle and stitched the coiled flower center over the joined flower petals. I cut out a simple leaf and sewed it on down the center vein line. I finished up with a velcro dot closure under the flap. project finished. And I still found a few things to add to the unfinished fabric journal page.
