And She Sews Too!

I doubt I’ve ever mentioned I kind of know how to sew. I’ve made a few quilts, totes, etc. A few weeks ago a made a bunch of Heather’s headbands that are the cutest thing ever. Even Supergirl got one. Even my girl Carole got one.So yeah, I can do a bit with the machine. Not much, but just enough to make a few fun things.

As most of you know I’m helping put on the KSKS with Bev. Because we’re dorks we decided that it would be way easier to just have each other as pals since we’d have to split up the list and do way too much work to keep it a secret as to who our pals would be. Something happened so someone else has me now I think besides Bev. Anyway, I get to spoil her and I finally found the bag I wanted to make and it’s so damn cute I’m making one for me too. Actually, I’ll tell the truth, I made one teeny mistake on the first one so I’m keeping it. If your name is BEVERLY do not click the rest of this article to see the cute bag you will be getting this weekend when you come see me. Everyone else? click to see the cuteness!

I found this link somewhere and I can’t remember where. I’ve made a few totes in the past but this one is by far the cutest. Thanks tiny happy! I think I’ll also go to my store tomorrow and get a different button for hers. I’m so proud of myself though because I’ve never done a button loop or lining like this! This one in the picture will be mine as it’s the one with the mistake in the inside. You can’t see it though so you’d never know unless I pointed it out. It’s very frustrating and time consuming being a perfectionist.

    I love the bag! That fabric is great.

    [I made my first bag using that tutorial yesterday -- not sure where the bag is going yet, it has some issues, so it's not for my KSKS pal... :) ]
