Sometimes I don't know what posseses me to try things like this. I'm really not that great at sewing. I can do some basic things and make some (almost) straight seams. But sometimes I get a little overly ambitious and wooed by lovely pictures, like the one in Tone Finnanger's Sew Pretty Christmas Homestyle book, where I found the pattern for this bag. I saw her beautful bags and thought I'd give it a try. And here it is.
Truthfully, I'm extremely pleased with myself. On the whole, the bag wasn't hard. I'm just not great with my sewing machine. But I had some gorgeous fabric from an outing to Cottonweeds in Freeport last weekend and a pattern I was dying to try.
I resolved to follow all the directions exactly but therein lies my primary problem with sewing - I'm not great at following the directions. But I really did try and I really am very happy with the bag, though there is no closeup photo for a reason. There are a plethora of errors and not-so-perfect seams but on the whole, I'm happy. I even plan to take this baby to work with me tomorrow. Proudly.
Hope you had a nice weekend.
