Oops, I nearly didn't have an OPAM ready for this month...until yesterday!!!
I went to a workshop to learn how to use the BSR (Bernina Stitch Regulator) on my nearly new sewing machine...We were going to make a small evening bag...
Here is our little pack...some black and maroon fabric...piping chord...shrinking fabric (never heard of that before!!!)...
Black thread on the top spool...
I set out to make flowers but just couldn't do it...
never mind, it was just petals and swirls!!!
this is the first time I have tried the BSR...
and silver thread in the bobbin case....this is the underside...
after BSR'ing you iron the stitched fabric and it shrinks...
Magic!!!
Bag all assembled...
The lining...
A bit of bling on top and I'm all ready!!!
A plain black headband purchased this week...
And me being a 'more is more' type I put a rose and feathers on one side of it...
And here they are together...and I love them...
Now just need to go somewhere!!!
I get at least one thing a month finished that I probably wouldn't have!!!

It's always a BUZZ when you learn to do something new with a friend.
Great Results. Now remember Race Day is next month if you need an occassion.
That looks fantastic Dzintra! There's more fun to be had with your Bernina, that's for sure. ann :-)
WOW! It's gorgeous! Your 'first try' FMQ is VERY GOOD! I know how difficult it is. It's all about practicing! Ah, so that is how it works with the 'shrinking fabric' - love how it ended up!
This whole post is full of cleverness!! I thought your quilting looked great, I could see some flowers in there! How amazing it was then turned in to a bag! Your head band is so pretty too!! Your husband should take you out on a hot date!
Dzintra, your bag is gorgeous... I have heard of shrinking fabric, it's always my stash before I go to the shops!!!!
Wow Dzintra - They're both gorgeous !! Well Done.
