New Year's Goal

Hi, I'm Marilyn and this new blog is a New Year's goal completed!  I have been trying to start this for 6 months. My New Year's goal was to start this by the end of January.  It still is January, right???  I know, just barely, but here it is....my first post! Ta-da!!!

January has been a very busy month and I'm excited to share with you some of the things that I have been doing.

You probably have seen a number of Bye Bye Love Bags by Sara Lawson of Sew Sweetness, the January pattern from the Bag of the Month Club.  This club features a new bag from 6 different designers that arrive in your email on the 1st of the month, January - June.  It is not too late to get involved.  If you join later in the program, you will receive the patterns you have missed.

Here is my Bye Bye Love Bag...

I used a home dec fabric for the bag and a faux leather for the strap and pocket background.  Here is a close up of the pockets...

 

the back of the bag with zippered pocket...

and the very large interior with 2 slip pockets on each side.

 

 

This is a fun to make bag with lots of room to hold everything you can possibly need to take with you.  Can't wait for bag # 2.  Bring it on!!!



 

In the mean time, I need to learn all of the things that I can do with Blogger.  A little at a time...
