Well hello all. I am afraid the need to only think about bags is not really over yet. It has been a slow summer. I am still working on those scraps and have a few of these in varying stages of being done. Unfortunately I am working on the mats and forgot to line up fabric for the back. So when I get closer to the bottom of this scrap pile I will look for backing.
In the mean time so I can have a break from the scraps I have started a new denim bag for a friend. I have most of the pieces cut and am working on a couple pieces for the gusset and handles. Since I am limited in this fabric I am having to find pieces that work. My goal is to be putting it together, at least started, tomorrow.
I also made a tote in a sew along in one of the Yahoo groups I am in. I really like this pattern. It is called the "Mill House Inn Tote" at the Moda Bake Shop. here It was a good pattern for a quick tote.
I am off to the denim bag pieces. But I do think bedtime is going to come early tonight.

This blog is mostly about my passion. Making bags. Of course life is not all about making bags and sometimes the outside world enters the bag world.
About Me

- I am a wife, mom, grandma and great-grandma. I love doing many crafts. Mostly I just like to be creative and use my own ideas. I don't usually buy patterns and I use my own interpretation of techniques. I started this blog to have a place to put ideas that I have come up with while creating. Some are very original. Some are combinations of others that I have seen. I am into techniques and what I can do to make them work for me. Most of the things I do started somewhere and have been tweaked to the point that they no longer resemble where they originated. I just can't seem to leave things alone. I am a member/moderator of "Sewing Tote Bags and Purses" a group that does just that with fabric and passion.
LOVE IT!

Yours actually looks prettier and better made than the one features at the Moda Bake Shop
