I haven't sewed for over fifteen years, since junior high. I borrowed my mother's sewing machine a couple months ago. Then I found this cute pattern on the internet. And I was looking for something to do this weekend. So I made this...
I cannot believe how great it turned out and how easy it was (seriously). I only had one snafu when I sewed two pieces together the wrong way. I then had to run to the store for a seem ripper (how arrogant of me not to purchase one when I bought the fabric). I tore the fabric apart carefully and then proceeded to pin it together the wrong way again. Thankfully I noticed that I had done this right before I sewed it incorrectly again.
I'm sending this bag to my sister. If you knew her you would know that this is totally her style. I had "sew" much fun making this (I'm so giddy I'm making bad puns) that I might just make one next weekend too. Although next time I think I am going to skip the buttons and sew ribbon around the top.
Thanks for indulging me in sharing my weekend accomplishment. Now go back to being infertile.

When you move on to making leather, I've got a purse that I wanted to buy, but it sold out before I could get it...do you take commissions?
That is adorable!!!
Love it!!! Good job! I wish I could sew!

You did an awesome job it is super cute.
I'm mightily impressed, or was until I got to the 'sew' pun at which point I think a little groan may have escaped...
You are amazing! That purse is awesome, you should be very proud!
That is so cute! I'm totally impressed!
Wow I am very impressed! I wish I could do something like that.
that is fantastic, I really wish I could make something like that, you could probably make a small killing selling them if you had the patience to sew a few.
Nice purse! Hope the next one's even more awesome!
I liked your video for IVF#2 even better :)
