It was supposed to be a simple trip to Joann Crafts. I needed an ink pad…and maybe a new stamp.
But there I was…
Surrounded.
It was me and miles of fabric.The Colors, the Prints, the Patterns. Something came over me, ...ahhh, the possibilities!!!
I could not control myself. Maybe It was all the home and garden TV I was watching way too much of, or maybe it was the Ugly Betty re-runs. Whatever it was, I knew that I needed to learn to sew.
So, there was the mission… teach myself to sew.
Equipped with my mom on speed dial, a vintage sewing book and the internet, I was ready to go.
Needless to say I bought way more than a stamp pad.
I needed to start somewhere, so there was no better place to start than with Bags.
Here are a few I made as gifts.
Now I am completely hooked.
Look Forward to some awesome tutorials!
Thank You for stopping by.

4 out of 5 read-ologists recommend this WordPress.com site. ups and downs of writer's insanity and day to day life. I will write whatever makes the voices happy, for a writer that ignores her inner voices is merely a mental breakdown waiting to happen. Keeping the voices happy and creating new worlds for them to play in is my main goal.
