Bag of Awesomeness

For my 30th birthday (that's still sinking in...), Rachel made me the most awesome bag ever. It is totally lined, quilted and contains patches of some of her favorite fabrics. I cannot begin to tell you how great this bag is and how much I love it. She made it for me to bring out into my garden to pick stuff, but its so darn pretty I just don't know if I can do that. However, I have decided that it is a perfect take-to-the-CSA bag, where I can fill it up with vegetables without getting it too dirty. Thanks, Rach! I love it!

Bonus points for anyone who can guess what vegetable is in the bag :)

The Folklore Bag - One Yard Wonders

The One Yard Wonders book has been so much fun to sew through. As a beginner, being able to actually understand and finish projects on my own has been encouraging and has only fanned the flame of my love to sew. With that said, this is the Folklore Bag from the book and I have been thinking about making it for months. The bag is mostly constructed from an Asian print pillowcase that was found at Salvation Army for .67 cents which not only is a deal but makes this bag that much more gratifying!
