Playing Catchup.

I've been extremely busy with my sons basketball games, trying to full fill all the pre-holiday orders I so not intended to take on.  Its been a busy life, but I am glad to be alive so I won't complain.  Today, I finally got in the mail a package to a friend that I have met on a Face Book group I participate in called, Sew Up.  We share Ideas, our talents and support one other.  We decided to have a gift swap and this what I made for my new Sewing Sister:


Boy I hope she like it.

  1. Melanie ~ That is one fantastic handbag :) I love it, the color combination is great. I'm a fan of wow factor and the inside takes it up a notch. Nice work!

    1. Good morning Adelina. First, let me thank you for listing my blog as an inspiration. That was very thoughtful of you. Ok, now on to the purse. This is actually a pattern I purchased from Ebay, its called Steph in the City. Here is where you can find it: http://www.emmalinebags.com/steph-in-the-city-bag/4564788906. I've made it a hundred times I think, so I have made a few alterations. The one on my blog was a little bigger than than the pattern suggests, but I scaled it up a couple of inches. Thanks again for being so kind. Have a great day.
