Happy Birthday...if you are reading this you know I'm talkin' bout you! :)
I am shocked that I now enjoy sewing as much as I do. When I was in Jr. High took a sewing class. I HATED it! I tried sewing a few other times and still didn't like it. On one occasion, the needle broke and flew into my eye. I became terrified of the sewing machine.

Then, about 4-ish years ago, I saw a post where someone showed how to sew a simple tote. I had an overwhelming feeling that I MUST work with fabric. So, I made that little tote...and became hooked. I can't seem to stop. My favorite things to make are purses...maybe because I might have a slight addiction to them...or not. SHHHH! HAAA HAAA!
As you might guess, I also like to give purses/bags as gifts.
This is a birthday gift.

The pattern for this bag is in the book "Style Stitches" by Amy Butler.
Several months ago, I made myself this bag. I shrunk it a few inches all around.
Happy {belated} Birthday!
Belated thank you. I love it. I've used it a couple times already. You've started a secret obsession for me. It would b easier if we lived closer, then I could just come over & borrow the needed purse. One day, it could happen. Just keep building that collection & if you closet gets full, I have room.
