This saga began a few weeks ago when I decided I needed a new bag. I saw a super cute style (which I figured I could pull off) on Craftster. My stash and scrap piles are plenty high but, honestly, it can be difficult finding fabrics that speak to each other well enough to set next to the other in a bag for eternity. I've always considered myself to be more creative than artsy (and sometimes not much of either) so this matchy-matchy stuff was stretching the right side of the ol' grey matter a smidge. Anywho, this is my first bag. I am very proud of it. I took the time to do all the things that make it cool to make your own purse such as add a key hook, perfect size pockets for very specific things, etc. Green is by far my favorite color and the purple paired with it to make something stunning. It is a bit more countryish than I would purchase for myself but purple coneflowers hold a special place in my heart and I love it.
Unbelievably, I do not have a picture of my own bag. Harumph. Will remedy that in the morning.
