Girlfriend! Robin and I had a lot of fun playing over the weekend and look what I made!.jpg)
We trialled Texture Magic - a fun product to use! For those of you who don't know, it gives the appearance of shirring! It is a bit of a hoot to watch it shrinking before your eyes, 30% they say! For this effect, I first used a pencil to grid the product at 1 1/4" apart, then pinned it to the fabric, then stitched on the gridded lines, then held a steam iron just slightly above the Texture Magic and Voila!

I bought the product through Julie Woods, a Superior Threads rep living in Goulburn, NSW. I must say how efficient and helpful, Julie is - I ordered last Monday and it was here Wednesday, from one side of the country to the other - now how good is that!♥
When and if I make another, I will make a couple of modifications/additions to the pattern. All in all, it was a very productive weekend for me. Today I might take a 40 minute trip to our closest big shopping centre and have a little look at the spring/summer fashions, as we had two lovely warm days over the weekend!
♥
Hope yours was a happy one!

I like how it looks in a bag, great texture just like the name says. Happy shopping.
Oh, I just love this bag. I didn't think I would care for texture magic, but I really like it on the bottom of your purse. I like that you told about it and how it works too. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
