Weekend craftiness

Posted by andrea in: File under crafty|Photography

The other day I emailed Mary (my MIL) a post from Craftster.org. But I didn’t think that on Sunday she’d take me fabric shopping and then help me make it make it for me.

I had an incredibly hard time picking fabric. I could have spent all day in there, and then walked out with enough for 50 different bags.

Here is the project prototype. Bag number one of three different ones that will eventually be made. I love this size. It’s big enough to carry the basics: my long wallet, keys, notebook, pen, lipgloss, sunglasses.

What do you think? :)

I should add that Mary is a saint. I’m sure she thought I was a total nut, walking around the store with one bolt of fabric only to switch it for another… oh, say about 30 times.

The variations are endless. It is mind-boggling. Must get my own sewing maching STAT. (That, plus a copy of “Sewing for Dummies.”)

From the photos you’ve posted before, it looks like it completely fits your style. I love the black with chalk flowers :)

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.
