Jedi Craft Girl rocks!

While I was checking out the other projects on Jedi Craft Girl blog, I came across so many cute ideas, my mind is spinning!  But I thought this project would be a great project for a beginner sewing class.



The directions to make this bag are found here.. and it looks like it is another terrific project for using up your scraps!!  Please check back later in the week for my "beginner Sewing" project sample!!

Bee in My Bonnet blog and My Easy Summer Bag

I am not sure how I found this blog - surfin' the web, I guess! .... but I found this oh so cute blog -love her blog header - click on the picture below!



I love vintage as well and made me think about the items I have purchased throughout the years - hmm...now where did I put them??!

This week I am teaching an easy summer bag at the Bernina-Pfaff Sewing Store in Tampa, FL. (Thank you Yvonne and Laurie for the inspiration!) 
Here is a picture of it.....

I changed the pattern to make it even easier than the original design! 

 The fabric line I used is "Hello Sunshine" from Riley Blake ( LOVE her fabrics!)

If you would like to make the bag for yourself and you cannot attend the class, then check out the McCalls link here!  They have several web bonus links posted and I love to try out the easier ones for my beginner sewing classes.  

Please leave me a comment is you are a beginner sewer or someone who would love to learn or "relearn" this skill.  If there are several of you, I will start posting some of my favorite web sites!

"A Stitch in Time Saves Nine"!  - where did that saying come from???

Enjoy!
