Winner!! Winner!! AGAIN!!!!

Yes, you read that right... I won AGAIN.... In the same week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow.  I should buy a lottery ticket!!!

I entered just about all of the giveaways for Sara Lawson's Purse Palooza.  She blogs over at SewSweetness and is just fantastic.  Her book Big City Bags just hit the shelves!  (It is on my Christmas wish list (link here) along with Tula Pink's Aurifil thread set (link here).  hint, hint, wink, wink, family who reads my blog...... 

Did I mention that Sara lives in Chicago?  Yep, the best city ever.

 What did I win?  None other than FIVE Anna Maria Horner Bag Patterns!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 I'm going to make the Multi-Tasker Tote first.  I just have to figure out what fabric to use..... decisions, decisions.

 Then I'll make the "Sidewalk Satchel" because I just love the shape and the pleats!

Who doesn't need a clutch?

Too many to chose from!!!!  I definitely already cut out all of the pattern pieces for each of these.  I was watching TV with my husband and just started cutting!  Why?  Because there is nothing more annoying than wanting to sew a bag, and then have to cut pattern pieces.  Now when I'm ready to jump in, my patterns are too!!! 

This one looks awesome too!!  So many choices.....

Thanks Sara!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bags!!! (or baggo, cornhole)

On Father's Day we were hanging out with my hubby's parents. They were playing "baggo" and saying that they had misplaced a bag, and the rest were moldy. Of course, instantly I saw this as a fun new project for my serger!! I did a bit of research and made a bunch of bags!! I did it quickly (and forgot to take a picture in the end). It worked out great. I'm out of town this week, but when I get back I'll put up a tutorial. =)

Red bags sewn and turned (not filled). Blue bags cut out!
