Sewing Bags Today

 So... last week, or maybe the week before that I was bored!!!  I was really wanting to sew something, but could not think of anything for the life of me.  My second born (who is away at college) happened to call while I was on my way to the fabric store to wander aimlessly through the fabric isles, and gave me a purpose for going!  She wanted a new bag.  One that she could wear across her body.  So after buying the absolute cutest fabrics that I had to have, I came home and set out making a pattern out of.... newspaper.  Yes, newspaper.  That was the only thing I had around that was big enough.  Lord knows I have enough newspaper from couponing, another thing I do when I'm bored.  Anyway, here is the finished product.  Tomorrow I am starting another bag, and I will take pictures along the way to show you.  Complete with the newspaper pattern!  Also, that is not my man hand in the photo.  My super sweet, wonderful, and supportive husband took the photo of the bag so he could add it to the post on this blog that he created for me.  Why?  Because he's just that wonderful.

Notice the man hand?  :)
