Making bags

One for my sister's birthday, one for me!

The process...

...continued...

The finished product! I was so happy with these.  The photo could be better, but in real life they look great!

I hope my sister likes hers (on right). I know I love mine! Thanks tinyhappy for the inspiration. I used her shoulder bag tutorial as my guide and adapted the pattern as I saw fit to make my own pattern. Her tutorial was very straightforward and easy to follow.

Pre-ironing ;p

2 Uber Cute Sites

Found 2 sites today and thought they were a must to share!

As if I needed any more inspiration to amp up my sewing attempts! The fabric at funkyfabrix is so gorgeous that I can barely restrain myself right now! Hahaha. Lucky my wallet is in a different room!

Blooming in Japan is lovely and I just love her creations. The fabrics she uses are great too, and she has inspired me to try a messenger bag after my handbag project is finished. Stay tuned for pictures! And go and check out the Blooming in Japan blog and store.

I have been collecting quite a few blogs of fabulosity so will have to share some others again soon!
