RSC 15: A Few More Purple Scraps

It seems that this has been a week of prep work rather than actual sewing.  That's OK, because now I'm ready to power through some WIPs. 

 
I confess I didn't have many purple scraps in reproduction fabrics.  It was fun to seek out some repro purples for this month's Scrap Jar Stars blocks.  

 
I made some time for blog reading and coffee sipping before starting the day's activities and I was inspired by Marly's purple scissor cases.  I pulled some purple scraps and made one up quickly.  I didn't get the instructions exactly right, but I'll know better next time.  I also think I need a better purple button, but that will have to wait until the next trip to Hancock's.  If you need a scissor case of your own, the instructions are by Dawn Cornell at the Moda Bake Shop.

Lots more purple inspiration may be found at Angela's Soscrappy blog!

    That scissor case is too cute. I saw that on Marly's blog too... maybe that will be my reward if I get the graduation top into a top this week =).

    I saw that scissor case too and thought about dashing off to make one but then remembered I made a scissor case long ago and never put my scissors in it. But maybe I need a scissor fob instead since I'm usually losing my scissors in between the couch cushions.
