Hi Folks,

I thought I would take a bit of a rest from art journaling, not because I do not want to do it, but because my livingroom was becoming rather cluttered with art materials.  I also had a bag I needed to make for someone, who wanted it as a mothers day present.  I will have my own present to make soon so I thought I might as well get it made and out of the way.  This meant putting away the art stuff and getting out the sewing machine instead.  This post is really a show case of the bag I have just made today.  It took approximately 4 hours to make.  In writing this post I am thinking that perhaps I should have taken photos of the process and shared.  However, I didn't so I cannot change that.  What I can do is tell you all that the bag is of a simple lined shopping bag design and tutorials can be found on YouTube and no doubt pinterest.  So without further ado. I bring you my latest creation.


The red stripe at the top came about simply because I did not have enough material left to make the full thing in the same dog material. The tag reads -  Handmade with love.

Thank you all for stopping by T

    1. Thank you Valerie. I think the material is what really makes the difference, though I am rather proud of how well lined up the seems are, that part could have gone so horribly wrong. Time, patience and accurate measuring helps. :)
