greetings.

As Chris often disappears outside to work in the yard, I'm finding I will often disappear upstairs to work on crafts. Sometimes on one thing in particular, sometimes on five things randomly.
Regardless... it's a time to relax, slow down, & be creative.
I'm always up for sharing... so, check back often for updates.

'sew what! bags'


I recently got a book called, 'sew what! bags.' It has various ideas for 'starters' to 'daredevil' bags... all of which are cute. I chose this 'cross-body' one to try first- I have to admit that the 'pro' label of it scared me a bit... I am by no means a pro- but I gave it a shot anyway.
The book is very detailed which is what I need... I read- and re-read over the directions probably 5 times :).
I think it turned out well for my first shot- the only things I would change: I need to find a way to reinforce the strap more and i forgot to put a pocket on the inside... but that's ok, maybe i'll make a matching coin purse to throw with it :) I do however like the pockets on the outside... I tried to create them the size I needed for certain objects that I always carry with me.
I might cut out something with my circut to iron on the front flap...not sure yet.
