Last Sewing Project Before the Festival

Things got busy last week before the festival and I didn't have a chance to show you the last bag I made before I had to finally quit sewing for a few days.  My hubby does "inventory" on my bags before the holidays and before shows. 

Him:  "You got enough, Bellas?"
Me:  "Only 2 left."
Him:  "Sugar and Spices?"
Me:  "Down to 1."
Him:  "You really think that is going to be enough?"
Me:  "No, but I only have today and tomorrow left to sew."
Him: "You need to have at least one to display for orders."
Me:  "I know, it's not my first rodeo."
Him:  "What happens if someone buys the last Sugar and Spice?"
Me: "Guess I should try to make another one with the time I have left."

So I did and this blog is about that bag.....but it is also about telling my hubby he was right.  I know, I know...it is hard sometimes but I sold what would have been my last Sugar and Spice bag early on in the festival and I would have been Sugar and Spiceless!  Thanks, honey!

Thanks to Christine, too, at Chris W Designs because these two bags continue to be my best sellers.

You can buy the Sugar and Spice pattern here and the Bella pattern here.

Speaking of these 2 patterns, a Bella bag that I made last November or December inspired this Sugar and Spice Bag.  I used the same 2 fabrics on Bella and loved the combo.  I thought it would be just as great on the Sugar and Spice.  Both bags give you that "peek" of the lining and I like it to be a little unexpected.

That's all for today.  I'm working on some orders from the festival and I can't wait to tell you the story behind one of the orders that I am doing.  I'll share that on my Around the World Blog on Monday.
