Owl Purses from Sue. These are the ones which helped me break needles.

I am a little afraid to try these as I am sure I would break a needle or two. I have had enough problems with my machine at the moment and don't need to add any more. Good for you to keep tryng and succeeding. Shirley

Shirley, It is good to use your needles that are too blunt to use for lace.

I am going to have a go at one of these. Thanks

Turned out great, even if you broke needles! lol

Really cute!

sehn sehr gut aus

Great looking owls. I like how you used a different thread than the wings and body to make the difference stand out just a little more. Hint: get longer zippers then you won't be breaking your needles so much.

I think these are so cute.

These sure are cute, where are they from? Thanks Joy

They look innocent and surprised, to me! Lovely, lovely. Great job, Lyn and Sue. Hugs, Lidia

Thanks. These just don't like me. Tried another tonight with problems. Gave up till tomorrow. Too long a story to add here.

Glad we managed to resove the size issue between us - these look great!

Thanks to you. This is the smallest size I can do on my machine - only because I wanted to use these free zips. I must have had 100 of 3 different sizes.

These look very good. I break lots of needles myself on the burnt edges of dog lead webbing. Not fun.

Didn't break one tonight - just didn't feel like sewing so possibly not concentrating as I had another problem.

Hoot man! you've done a great job! Love Chris

They look very pretty - and quite innocent ;)

Yes I should forgive them.

Cute. Nice job

They are great. Did you figure out why the needles broke?

Yes. Zipper just a fraction too small and the needle won't go through metal.

Thanks for that information. I have a box full of the metal ones so one should only use the plastic ones on the ITH projects.

And they look so sweet & innocent! I'm sure they're sorry they broke your needles! :-) You did a great job on them.

Didn't sell the one I made Sat night for the market on Sun. I don't care as I will give them to my owl collecting friends.
