Say it isn't sew at Top Tip Tuesday

Sorry I am a bit late but at least I am here and it is tuesday still!! At  Top Tip Tuesday this round we have a lovely new challenge for you!! But first of all I want to thank those of you that played along with our "Girls and boys comes out to play" challenge for the past two weeks. I had a blast looking through the entries, it's such a joy seeing such versatility amongst you crafters that join in with us time after time!! Gotta love that.Please check into our challenge blog to see if you are in our winner circle.

For the next two week's our theme will be: Say it isn't sew. That means no machine sewing. Please feel free to do any other sewing than machine sewing, like hand sewing or faux stitching !!

 Oh I have seen what my fabolous teamies have made for this one, you should join in too... go check into our challenge blog and get some fab inspiration!!

My project for this challenge is a little card purse made by cutting and decorating a paper bag. Here's my result:

and my tip is this:

Using my design ruler from Tim Holtz makes hand stitching both neat and straight. Just poke holes in the ruler lines in a straight line and sew afterwards!! Neat huh??

As you might have noticed I have used a Saturated Canary image for this one. Krista has been so kind offering each of the DT a fab image to work with for this challenge!!
