Not to toot my own horn or anything (that so sounded like something a grandma would say) by I’m pretty pleased with my work on this bad boy. I was sitting in the sewing room the other night, playing with my buttons and I needed<\/i> to make something with them. I’ve been through the standard <\/a> tree<\/a> button<\/a> colors a few times now, and I really didn’t want to repeat that with this. Instead I started thinking about trees in the spring, and how the purple lilacs are one of my favorites. I ended up with this.<\/p>\n

There was a bit of a tense moment during the whole process when I accidently ripped the last bit of gray fabric that I had. I had miscalculated the seam allowence when I was making the handles, and instead of carefully ripping out the stitching I sliced the whole side of the handel, wrecking it. I nearly lost it. Thank goodness JoAnn’s had the same color gray, without any mismatched dye lot issues like I was fearing.<\/p>\n

And as usual, I’ve put this bag up in my Etsy Shop<\/a>. It may have to be torn from my hands though, since apparently I’m in love with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
