Sewing is a lot like life...sure, there are patterns for just about everything, but in order to love what you do, or love what you make, you have to change the pattern to make it your own regardless if the change is a fraction of an inch or the length of a yard. And more often that not, those choices you make to change the pattern do not work out exactly the way you hope. It can be frustrating and challenging, and sometimes you have have to rip it all apart at the seams and start completely over. Which requires patience. A lot of patience. But in doing so, you create something that is far more rewarding, and far more beautiful, then what you started with.

I still want to party!

Shhhhh....even though I am still in Vegas with my hubby, I want to party with everyone else, so I am sneaking this one in before he gets out of the shower and we head down the strip! I finished up this Frenchy style shoulder bag late last week before we left TX for LVNV!

The fabric is a lot darker than ones I normally choose, but I think it fits in well with the Fall season fast approaching and I am happy with the way it turned out.







I am linking up this week at the parties on my sidebar and you should join me!

The amount of creative goodness is unbelievable!

    This is such a pretty bag, really elegant due to the fabric choices. I love the shape too, it reminds me of one of my Vera Bradley bags that I find so useful so I know I'd probably love it too. Off to check out your Etsy shop, looks like you might make some in the style for sale. Thank you for joining us at A Crafty Soiree! I hope you'll come back next week and link up again!
