Monterey Market Bag

What do you do to satisfy your creative itch?

This is what I did . . .

Downloaded the Monterey Market bag pattern by Tanya Whelan. . .

Used up some scrap fabric. . .

Made a simple, cute, practical, reversible bag!

Grandma's Day

Here is the beautiful lady who inspired me to make a purse:

She said that if we went to church with her on Mother's Day then we wouldn't have to go to her funeral!  She had several pews full of children, grandchildren and great-grand children.
Here are some photo highlights.

Grandma's Bag

My awesome teacher helped me make my first bag!  I gave it to Grandma for Mother's Day.

It is lined in white with pink polk-a-dots.

Thanks to Aunt Nellie for the pictures!

My first "solo" sewing project! It's the Mish Mash skirt by Pink Fig.

It has a super poofy under skirt edged in tulle.

Here it is on my model:
