a gift for: mrs g, a family friend
it's done and i'm so happy with how it came together and how it finished. i've e-mailed my mom a few pictures and as soon as i get a mailing address, the everyday bag...perfect, i think, for wearing with jeans as mrs g does...will be carefully packaged and placed in the mail. i took my time on this, but really it's an easy to follow pattern, and a purse versus a tote type bag, for a little change up in any woman's wardrobe!
thanks, mom, for giving me this chance to sew for a dear friend!
and now...some planning and designing of my own. i may have a little sales opportunity. one day at a time and full moments these early summer days!

Cute, cute, cute, cute, cute! I love it! And we have those fabrics (and buttons) at our shop. Hmmm....
That is totally the pattern I've been dreaming of...for an everyday bag, of course!
Just stunning, I always am a fan of vibrant fabrics!!!! Love the big button too! Looks like it would really hold a lot, that's my kind of bag. I'm sure Mrs. G. will love it!
mrs. g is going to LOVE it.
and a sales opportunity?!!
all smiles---the universe is YOURS!
Mrs. G. will love this - it is lovely! Here's to some wonderful sunny days,

This is beautiful! I love the fabrics you chose for this and it is the perfect size!

what a beautiful bag. My girlfriend has a bag that looks just like that one...(only in different colors) I wonder if the woman who made it for her used the same pattern??? I just love it!
