Teardrop Bag from Amy Butlers Style Stitches

 I just finished my version of the Teardrop Bag from Amy Butler's book 'Style Stitches'.  As I was making the bag, I had already cut out the hips, but I decided not to use them on the bag.  Since they were already cut, I decided to cut three more sets and make a flower out of them.  I wasn't sure if I'd like it (and I'm still 50/50 on it) so I make it a pin that I could add/remove at will. 

Like this bag? Its for sale in my Etsy shop.

To make the flower: I cut out 10 of the hips from the pattern and sewed them together in pairs- right sides together (leaving the end open to turn them).  I then machine basted them together with the largest stitch my machine would do (below) while leaving a large amount of string at both the beginning and the end.  I took one of the strings from one of the ends and pulled it to bunch the 'petals'.  I then knotted the ends together and went around the edges again with another piece of thread and a needle to help secure the flower.  I used the fabric from the inside of the bag to make a 11/8' button for the center.  I then sewed it into the center of the petals and sewed a pin on the back.

Amy Butler's Key Keeper Coin Purse (Style Stitches)

My first completed project from Amy Butlers Style Stitches book. I like the coin purse but it's really bigger than an average sized coin purse - in between a wristlet and a coin purse. I think if I made it again I wouldn't bother with the pocket- being the whole width of the bag it just seems to take up space.

Did you want just the word Amore? Or "Thats amore?"    I can do that if you want.

I only mocked them up in French.  I will do the English and Italian in whatever style you want (they can all be different if you want).    The hearts can be there, not be there, be straight, be sideways the way these are, or i can do something else too if you want.
