Bags bags bags

Okay, I finished two bags this week, the Amy Butler 'Reversible shopper' and the 'Cabrio' bag.  I made a few changes to both bags.  The 'reversible shopper' was huge as described.  You could probably carry a small child or enough produce for a month.  I omitted the bottom panel, sewed the front and back together at the bottom and boxed the corners, added a flap and made the strap wider, maybe a little bit too wide.  The 'Cabrio' bag was pretty easy, even with all the gathering.  I did change the straps.  I made the strap adjustable using 2 rings.  Of course, I didn't decide on this until the straps were already cut, sewn and attached so it didn't really work as I hoped.  Here's some pic's of the finished bags.  Both bags are part of 'Sew Alongs', check out the Flickr page for both, Amy Butler Style Stitches Sew Along and Sew Spoiler Cabrio Tote Sew Along

That's what happens when you run out of fabric.

Groundhog Day

Well it seems Catonsville Catey was so sure we would be having an early spring she didn't even bother to show up.  Guess I can't blame her it was kinda of cold out yesterday.

What better way to spend the rest of the day then a trip to a psychic.  We opted for both palms and tarot cards.  I learned that Monday is my lucky day, lucky number is 3, I will live a long life, I am healthy and I need to get out more. Apparently Ms Elizabeth knows I am a hermit.
