Groovi handbag

Hello!

I promised to blog a step by step for the little bag I demo'd at 6pm-actually, I haven't promised anything yet because it's only 5pm and I'm still in the green room waiting to go and do the 6pm show lol, but I will promise to blog, don't think about it too much or you'll get a headache lol.

So, on the assumption I said id do it, and on the assumption you liked the project, here is the step by step....

 

 

Start with A4 parchment

The left edge of the parchment is lined up against the side of the largest square, bottom of parchment is lined up with bottom edge of the plate.

Right then, put the three sides of the 3rd square, and all of the 4th square.

Slide parchment to the left, have a squint at the pic above to see where I'm lined up to, then repeat the 3rd and 4th squares.
Now put a tinsy bit in place at the top, see in the pic?
Using the circle plate, put the handle in place.
On both sides
Put part of the frill in place
Put the flowers in the frill
And the trellis
 

Use your white pencil in an upward sweep motion on the frill

And the trellis

Bit of pencil on the flowers too.

Put a name in if you want?

Colour if you want, it's your call!

Cut as in piccy, and add tape

Carefully fold score lines and put it together, does it look something like this?

I've had to blog this very quickly, so apologies if i missed anything, just Shout me if you have any questions!

 

Thanks for popping in!

  6. Oh my Maria! How clever is this. I think I'm convinced. I need the groovi system! I've been resisting because I didn't think I'd use it, but after watching you today, I've changed my mind. Not sure whether that's a good thing or not, we'll see.
    Great shows and demos Maria. You are a natural. Xx

  10. wonderful, wonderful shows and the bag - blew me away. Thank you so much and for the Christmas card, I was so touched that you remembered me. Looking forward to seeing you again. You are a star and so natural on the TV. My husband says hi to another Liverpudlian - we love to hear a bit of his place of birth.
    Best wishes

  12. Hi Maria, thanks so much for the tutorial. I tried to watch your show but the internet wasn't streaming properly. Didn't see hardly anything of your first hour and caught snippets of the second hour. I was so disappointed as I was so looking forward to your shows. Is it possible to post all the samples that you demonstrated. Would love to see what they were. Am sure they were gorgeous. Just love to watch you demonstrate and hopefully the next time you are on that the Internet will be working. As I live in Canada, I can't watch it on the tv.

  13. wow! love this, I'm just starting out with the Groovi system, and I'm really enjoying it, at the moment I'm a bit heavy handed but I'll get there eventually. You are really inspiring me Maria, just love your work. Thank you for the great tutorials. x
