I made my first purse last week for our Anniversary date night. Oh my goodness...it's so much fun to make a purse! It seems so odd and not right, all inside out and hoopdey, and then you pull the whole the right side out and...presto! Like magic, it works! This is Amy Butler's Velma Bag and I used the leftover fabric from the cute skirt I made a while back. And speaking of cute skirts...I sized it down and made three more of those pretties. There's fabric for at least four others waiting in the hopper. I love that pattern! I've been very inspired by all of the patchwork stuff I've been seeing around like this, and this, which have been inspired by this incredible book which I finally bought at Uwajaimaya on Saturday . So today I tried my hand at some quilted patchwork. My, oh my. There will be plenty more of this in my future! It's really satisfying and fun.

I'm very excited now! I bought that book from YesAsia and it should be arriving any day! I love inspiring pictures.
Amazing! those bags are so cute!
Wow - those are beee-u-tee-ful! I love the green one (of course). amazing to think that a little over a year ago (or is it two) you didn't even own a machine. Just goes to show that you are one crafty babe - through and through!
