With temperatures reaching 75 degrees today, I spent some time outside weeding. Not my favorite thing in the world. Not by a long shot. But I discovered this very determined little crocus pushing its way up between pavers. And that was a nice reward for my weed pulling activity.
In the last few days I finally got the pattern for this bag finished and in
my Etsy shop. This is my Sassaman version and I love the way it highlights the Lively Silhouette print. You may remember
this bag in Sis Boom fabric from this post.
It is insanely easy to customize this bag as you can see with the ribbon detail and the pom pom fringe. Not to mention the mixing and matching of fabrics. And the main body of the bag can be quilted like I did for this
bag in Kaffe Fassett fabrics.
And there's this one with yo yos added to the mix. Hard to pick a favorite.
The Mod Podge has been out today, as well as some Extreme Glitter paint. Stay tuned for more on those projects in the coming days. More tutorials and patterns in the works as well. There will be no excuse for idle hands this Spring.
Enjoy the remainder of your weekend and find some time to nurture your creative side. You're worth it!
Your bags are always so much fun in fabulous fabrics and little embellishments that make them unique!! Your weeding unearthed a hint of Spring!
ReplyDelete75 degrees?? I'm so jealous! :o) It was 30 degrees here with a light dusting of snow. I'm very much ready for spring, but I am VERY happy that I don't have the additional work of gardening right now, because I have a really cool bag to make. :o) Where to you get your bag handles at? LOVE LOVE LOVE this bag!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI get the handles at JoAnn's but there are online retailers on Etsy that sell them too. I can't wait to see your bag!
ReplyDeleteLove the design of this bag!
