Being creative with Roc-Lon, yes me.

Oh I'm such a sad case truly, I just couldn't resist the challenge to play with some fabric I had never seen before so I joined I Have A Notion contest just cause I wanted to try the Roc-Lon fabric..
Anyways I was sent a piece of the fabric 8½" x11".
I looked at it - I touched it-I rolled in between my hands- I bent it up-I folded it up-I even tossed it to see how far it would go, and then I got to work.
I had these lovely fabrics here that I purchased a while ago from Fresh Squeezed Fabrics range was called Ginger Blossom.
So I set about cutting and sewing and made a table center piece.

Oh how I love them fabrics...
I then took photo of the table mat and printed it on the Roc-Lon (and forgot to take a photo grrr)..
So I the cut around all the edges with pinking shears cause I like that look.
I hole punched down the long sides.and then threaded some green ribbon in a twisty fashion, turned it inside out and boxed the corners by machine.


Anyways this is what I made
nice and fresh looking zippered purse/cosmetic purse oh did I tell you this Roc-Lon can be printed on..can be sewn by machine or hand, can be painted and it does not fray either...oh yeah and it holds it's shape, and heaps more ...


I sewed the zipper in by machine and also stitched some of the zipper in by hand just too see how it would go.


I hand sewed the hanger-handle and added some bling.


Made a bling fob for the zipper too.
This was a great brain thinking project for me as in the end I had decided I was going to make something that would enable me to do a few of the things that it's said you can do
So summing up I...printed on it..hand sewed..hole punched and machine sewed and I had fun.
