A Few Things I created

I thought I should share a few of the things I have made over the years. This purse was made out of the first "pattern" I wrote for myself. I had a friend who had a bag she loved roughly the same size and shape and I tried to figure out how to make it. I actually cut a paper "craft" gift bag in half and used that to trace on my fabric. Then just measured some interior pockets and the strap. I used the heaviest interfacing and it wears and washes well. The interfacing will loosen some but it still holds it shape and the purse can stand on it's own.

Starting Out

I am new to blogging but lately I seam to have been sucked into so many great creative blogs! I have enjoyed seeing and reading about what people are creating. It inspired me to get to the sewing table and try something new! I have been sewing for about 7 years but never do clothes other than a simple hem. Well, I sewed two skirts for my girls. I love them- I hope when they are teenagers they won't be made at the pictures! Once I figure out what I am doing on here, I will try and post some pictures.
