My Bag

So lately I have had the urge to create, and after a few botched attempts at a decent piece of clothing, I decided to try something more on my level...a bag. I have been wanting a new purse anyhow, so in order to help boost my confidence back to the level where I can again attempt something more complicated, I decided to make one! Here is the end result. : )


Sorry the picture is kind of dark.
This shows a more true image of the fabric.
I thought it was gorgeous and it was a remnant that was on super sale.
My inside fabric (also on sale) and my large middle inside pocket.
Some of you great seamstresses are laughing I am sure, but this is an accomplishment for this novice. : ) Next I think I'll knit for a bit on a project I started last winter. It's almost the scarf time of year again!
(Sorry about the spacing of this paragraph---I can't seem to figure that out, with this post and the last.)

Great job! That looks like a super fancy purse! I don't know that I would have the talent to make one so nice.... well maybe not one at all. Well done Jenny, keep up with your creativity. PS. I still can't get over you running so far that is so awesome.
