so i got my shit together and finally assembled my sewing machine. and of course within minutes i started my first project. i'm pretty excited about this first bag. the straps could have been better, but overall i think it looks awesome. i'm up in the air on whether i want to put it up for sale on my etsy shop or not. i'm going to sleep on it and see what kind of feedback i get on the other places i've posted for opinions. i already started my second bag, all i need to do is redo the lining so it fits better into the outer shell of the tote. i think i'm going to try to do a bag a day. of course i only have enough interfacing for one more bag, but i guess i can manage a trip back to joanns to get more.
i also am starting to get the itch to begin sewing skirts from patterns and material that isn't from old t-shirts (of course those are my personal favorite). i think over the next week i'm going to re-familiarize myself with how to read the pattern table and such with hope of making a cute summer dress by the end of the month.
all i need is a sewing machine to keep me happy and busy.
