I bought the pattern for this bag last fall, bought the fabric in January, cut out the pieces in February, and then … well … um … uh …. it sat in my workroom for about four months, haunting me, laughing at me, teasing me with its cute polka dot fabric and cheerful, colorful prints. I have the best of intentions. I buy things that I love, that I can’t wait to make, and then, well, I end up working on customer jobs instead of my own stuff. Well, I decided to give myself a deadline. I wanted to take that bag on our trip to Asheville, so I could load it up with all my essentials, plus my camera, sketchbook, and water bottle. And, with a few evenings of staying up too late, and putting off that slipcover that needed to be started for a customer, I finally FINISHED it!

Congratulations on starting your blog Leslie. I have been a fan of your work for some time. Like you, I have "some day" projects stored in a container in my workroom. I keep thinking that I will get to them, but it never seems to happen. Love your bag and I look forward to following your blog posts.
