My challenge to myself is to persuade those of you who have not yet taken the plunge to have a go at an ITH design. I've put a really simple purse in DBC with instructions.

Excuses busted:
Excuse #1 - "I'm afraid of the zip." There isn't one!
Excuse #2 - "I haven't time to spend on experiments" - takes ten minutes tops!
Excuse #3 - "It would be a waste of fabric if it doesn't work" - it uses scraps and it will work!!

Let me know how you get on.

Good for you Sue. These are great designs and I agree everyone should give it a try. I wonder what everyone will use theirs for? Come on Cuties lets all make one. hugs, Susan

Thank you for helping me get past my fear of ITH! I am SO going to do one of these!
Cuties, I promise they are MUCH easier than I thought they would be!

Fantastic! This will be fun, cause you know how my brain doesn't absorb instructions very well, I have to see things done, "monkey see, monkey do" hehehehe!

I can tell you, it's a lovely design, easy to follow and great as a project. I loved to sew it. Only made a different design : changed "my stuff" into a border design. So, thank you once again. And cuties: if I can this, you can do it too! Give it a try, it is worth it :)
