States Of Modern: Maine

Maine, The Pine Tree State, is our northernmost state on the Atlantic seaboard.  With the motto, “Dirigo” which means “I Lead” it isn’t surprisiong that the North Star is included on the Maine State seal and its flag.

Crazy Patch Purse By Machine

As you can see, this is Crazy Patch for the machine age.  All stitching is by machine.  It is wondrous to use all those decorative stitches and different threads.  Sometimes I put two threads through the needle (one on a bobbin) just to see what would happen.  The results are fantastic!  The Crazy Patch is done flat then the purse is made from the created piece in a very simple manner.  Dig out your fancy fabrics… or just your favorite cottons!  And have a great time making this purse!
