Try a brand new bag!

This morning was kind of a tough one!! I find myself wandering, not being able to settle on a project or a cleaning place in the house. A little project is usually just what I need to get back on track. I have been really admiring these bags, so made a couple little ones from my plaid scraps and shirt yardage for the linings from the thrift store.

Another view...the little one's pattern is here, by Rachel Griffith. The larger one is just about twice as big, and I tweaked it as I went to make it the size I wanted. I did put double batting in the large one, and interfacing in the handles to give them some strength and shape. Each one took about one hour to make...easy-peasy!!

Have a great day, everyone!! I am off to clean the kitchen...having found my focus!
