moda messenger bag

When I began my Etsy shop, I always had plans of sewing my own bag just for me...one with pockets just for me, one that was just the right size for me, one that was...well, you get the idea. Unfortunately, once the sewing started, I was so busy making bags for others that I couldn't quite find the time to make my own. Then I went back to school and my plans really fell to the wayside.

Then last night at 4:00 am (I suppose that is this morning, if you want to be technical) my sewing plans finally panned out. And this was the result....

I was so happy with the finished product! I used Hunky Dory fabric by Moda in coordinating patterns. Inside, there is a pocket for everything I carry - two tubes of cherry Chapstick, a cell phone, my camera, a wallet or two, and room for a few extra things just in case! I also added an adjustable strap so I could carry the bag on my shoulder or across my body. It got finished just in time for me to enter it in Tea Rose Home's link party!

It only took 2 years, but I got my bag! Now to start work on a diaper bag for my sister...

one lucky girl...

Another great weekend filled with projects, puppies, and an amazing husband has come to a close. Last night while I was lying in bed, two warm arms wrapped around me in the dark and wished me good night.

I love being married to this man.
