Blue silk

I had a piece of light blue and white silk twill (which I forgot to photograph). It looked a bit anaemic, so I overdyed it with turquoise - and was very happy with the result. 

And then, of course, I made it up into a croissant bag:

and an evening bag:

and a little coin purse, with a bead zipper pull:

Silk purses

I found a small piece of blue-green handpainted silk, left over from an earlier project, which I used for an experiment in free-motion pintucking, making it even smaller. However, despite the small size of the final piece of fabric, I managed to make a croissant bag:

And two coin purses, with beaded zipper pulls (they look rather large compared with the croissant bag but they are about 12 cm across):

And a card:

I even have some other small pieces left over that might turn into something else eventually.
