Another Bag

I have been working on some bridesmaids dresses for the last month. Mostly making the patterns as I am copying a dress that the brides likes. Well I don't like making patterns much so I decided to take a break and make a bag for my friend's birthday at the end of the month.

I used a charm square pack from Moda and some bamboo handles I had. I also made a matching small wallet. Hope she like them!

What a mess!

I decided to purge my sewing room of fabrics and stuff I don't use anymore. (I had a doll costuming business) I ended up filling up about 7 trash bags full of stuff to donate to my quilt guild auction this month. I also got rid of lots of magazines. Here is a picture of the mess!

I also  moved some of the containers on the window seat to the closet! Feels nice to be able to see all my stuff!

New bag

This is the bag/purse I made for my secret sister for this month. The middle is the French braid pattern. It was fun to do. I also used that pattern for the inside pockets. These are Moda fabrics from a couple years ago except the dark peach.
