A Monthly Challenge? Count Me In!!

 Jemalia from JemJam challenged anyone who felt like joining in to make a bag a month from Amy Butler’s Stylin’ Stitches for the entire year. Since I am not one to let a challenge pass me by, I decided to not only join in, but become the world’s most amazing amateur bag maker ever! However, since I haven’t used my sewing machine basically ever, I will have an uphill battle at accomplishing that.

When I told manfriend about this, he took me by my hand and led me into our closet. Then he silently pointed to the shelves where I keep my purses. There are many and I love them all dearly. Then he asked very quietly if I had to because he was hoping to find room in the closet for a second pair of shoes. Since I love him so dearly, I decided to make the purses, but give them away to my friends.

January is the Cosmo Bag for my dear friend Mel. I tried to get her to shop for fabric with me, but our schedules just never matched up. So I forged ahead without her and bought it myself over the weekend!

All of these pretties are from the Moda line. I can’t wait to see how this turns out!
