One of them was a scrap of the most beautiful soft fabric.
I knew I wanted to make it into something and it was just big enough for a little purse to hold my glasses.
I used the same method as I did for my last purse. It was super easy and really quick.
The only thing that was missing was a zip.
I pulled on a coat and quickly walked down to the haberdashers store in Durham Market.
The zip was so cheap ( I love the North) but on my way out I spotted this twill tape and couldn't resist.
I had never added a label to a sewing project before but it was easy enough with a zig zag stitch.
I like the finished touch it gives.
Whilst there I picked a few extra lengths of the tape so I have two half metre lengths to give away.
If you would like a chance to win some of this sweet ribbon just leave a comment and I will draw a winner by the end of the week!

That is such a pretty idea for a glasses case. When I did my patchworking they sent me 20 squares of sample fabric for free and I was wondering what I could do with them! I love the tape, and would love to be included in the draw.
Your little purse would be perfect to use for your poker/gambling money---if you were so inclined. The ribbon is great!
Oh I just love that little bag, Abi, and the tape is such a nice finish! I'll sit out this giveaway though, and let my British friends have a better chance for winning. xo
I just LOVE this! And the label is adorable. So you!

Lovely fabric and what a nice idea for a glasses case. I am forever mixing mine up with Himself's, so a handmade one would be a good project for me! And a bit of your pretty tape would be gorgeous ... Love that little crown!
What a sweet little purse. I think I'll pass on the tape, as well. It seems that it should stay on your side of the pond.

The fabric is so beautiful and yes the tape is the perfect finishing touch. I would love a piece of tape Abi.
LOVE this project. That fabric is just lovely, and I agree that the tape should stay in Britain.
PS: On a totally different subject, "turtle" flavor is chocolate, caramel, and pecans. I forget that not all American desserts are known around the globe. ;o)
