You can make your own fancy stationery very easily if you have a sewing machine. And I don't mean by stitching on the paper, because that is not easy/can gum up your machine. I mean by perforating the edges in pretty patterns! Just set your machine to one of the pre-set fancy stitches, and send your paper on through! Do some testing first on scrap paper because, as you can see on the envelope in the picture, some stitches are too close together and tear the paper. Of course you can also do fancier things by disengaging the feed dogs on the machine and doing a little freehand sewing, too.

Reversible bag I was cutting fabrics to make a reversible bag when I read the newest comment in last post where Juliet asked me about sewing reversible Charlie bag . Yes, I cut fabrics in front of my computer, and everytime it blinks, I’ll stop what I’m doing to look at my inbox, twitter, facebook, etc. Bad habit. Anyway, there’s actually a post in BurdaStyle about lining the Charlie bag . But when I checked it out, it turned out a bit different than what I usually do. http://verypurpleperson.com/2010/04/making-reversible-bag/
