My first milestone...

I don't know if you notice the "Santa Sack Swap" in the side bar, but that bag is the one that Carol made for me & I carried it as a purse from Thanksgiving until a couple of days after Christmas and I loved it.  And I had quite a few nice comments on it as well.  So, I decided to make a few more similar to it.... the pattern is by Stephanie of Loft Creations.  I made my own version of it by cutting 2.5" squares for the top section, and have plans to make at least 2 more - both different than the original or this one.  :-) 

And a bit closer (don't look too closely - it's NOT perfect!)......

 Anyway, the fabric is the new Moda "Chemistry" (from a charm pack that my dear friend Jeanne sent me at Christmas) and Moda "L'Amour" from a year or two ago that I had in my massive fabric stash.   I think they blend well together.  I love red/brown together & the pink thrown in doesn't hurt it any (it's not baby pink! lol).   I used a magnetic snap instead of the loop & button, though I may use that on another - we'll see, and I left the pocket off.  I thought with all those squares & all those prints, the pocket might be a bit "much".

Thanks for stopping by - have a wonderful week & happy stitching & sewing!

Title : Vibram Fivefingers KSO EVO W, Women's Fitness, Grey (Grey/Pink), 6-6.5 UK (37 EU) ASIN : B00DYXNW8C Description : MINIMALIST RUNNING / BAREFOOT RUNNING The typical human foot is an anatomical masterpiece of evolution with 26 bones, 33 joints, 20 muscles, and hundreds of sensory receptors, tendons and ligaments. To keep our feet healthy, like the rest of our bodies, they need to be stimulated and exercised regularly. Many experts believe the shoes we wear not only cast the foot in a protective form, but can also weaken our foot and leg muscles, leaving them underdeveloped and more susceptible to injury. And while there are many occasions where traditional footwear is essential for protection, safety, and security, it is equally important to stimulate and exercise our feet in a more natural state on a regular basis.
