A Bag for Emily

I finished another bag ... this one is for Emily! It's a much smaller one - more like a purse. I didn't do any zippers this time, but I did match the pattern on the pocket with the bag. I made lots of bias tape for this project, and didn't break any needles (although the current one is on its way out). I'm having fun with my new toy!

My first "real" sewing project

I finally did it! I used my new sewing machine to create my very own project. Yep, I did it all by myself. I only broke one machine needle and didn't have to use the seam ripper too many times. I consider that a roaring success.





I was definitely inspired by Sarah and by the really cool Vera Bradley bags that I've seen. I also got some helpful assembly instructions which I adapted a bit to my liking.


Many more to come! I already bought material to make Emily a bag of her own! I do have a tendency to get on kicks of the same project (I haven't been posting all of the perforated paper ornaments that I've been cranking out) ...
