Day 01

I admit it – I didn’t make this whole bag today. But I did FINISH it today… so that counts. I used MachenMachen’s Wasp Bag pattern, with a couple of alterations. It was pretty tricky in some bits, but I think it turned out okay.
The bag shell material is just some el-cheapo bargain bin stuff, which just so happened to match the pretty Japanese fabric of the handles. The lining is faux-satin with sharks on it – so slippery and difficult to cut and sew!

Thing-A-Day for Lent!

I missed this year’s Thing-A-Day! I saw it right before registration opened, and I thought “Yes, I will do that” and now it’s already February!

So

I decided to do my own Thing-A-Day for Lent, rather than giving something up. I’ll attempt to create one thing every day starting tomorrow, except for Sundays – that’s the 40 days of Lent. It could be craft, art, music, writing, photography, cooking, or comics – anything. It’s going to be tough, but at the same time exciting. It will really help me develop some mad skillz (hopefully).
