I WANT TO SEW SOMETHING ....

I have not done much sewing in the last few months, a couple of Queen Elsa dresses and a little summer dress for a 9 year old granddaughter.  She picked out her fabric, pattern and lace while she was visiting giving me complete instructions on exactly what she wanted.  I finished up that little dress a few weeks ago and sent it to her, but have not had any yearnings to turn my sewing machines on since, that is until this morning.  I knew I wanted to sew something but didn't know what until I got into my room and started looking for inspiration.  I remembered I had saved a pattern from a facebook page for a purse.  I don't think I have ever made a purse before, but I have been doing a lot of things recently that I am unfamiliar with, so I found some fabric, printed out the pattern and spent the day putting it together.

 

I am so pleased with how nice this bag came out.  It is lined and I even added a pocket on the inside.

 

 

 

I feel inspired to make a few more of these bags and think I will probably tweek the pattern some to make the bag a little bigger.
