I haven't posted about any of the things that I have been making lately..
I am still sewing like crazy. I made some curtains for my neighbor, and attempted dress for my sister. (That didn't work out) I don't have photos of those unfortunately..
I've also been searching for the right purse pattern. My first attempt didn't work, I gave up halfway through. My second attempt, I finished, but I didn't like the final result. I tried two more purses, and wasn't happy with the sizing. Finally, I went back to this design. I made one of these last year, and I loved it. So simple. No extra buttons, snaps, or zippers.. No fiddling with strap length or stabilizers. Just a simple "Sling" bag. It's basically two triangles sewed inside each other. When I was sewing them together, I left a small gap in the front, so I have one pocket for my keys and cell phone. (I hate having to dig through my purse for those) Everything else just goes in the middle. It opens wide when you need to, and it closes up when it's over your shoulder.

Oh, and it's reversible =]
I have also been wanting a new ironing board cover. My ironing board hangs over the door, and it's almost impossible to find covers for that style. So I made one =] When I bought the fabric for the bag, there was a "Buy 2 yards, get 1 Free" sale. So I got this adorable cover for free!!

Does Chris appreciate how awesome you are with all of your amazing skills? (I honestly wouldn't hold it against him if he didn't, because men don't always realize these things, but this case seems pretty obvious.)
Haha. Thanks =] And yes, He asks me to make stuff for him all the time =]
