Sew in Love with Bags

Happy New Year to you! Wishing you health, wealth and happiness all year round.

Hmm .... what was the last thing you did in 2008? I was sewing this bag which I had unpicked 5 times! I saw a similar one from a magazine and found it looked rather sweet. I told myself I had to try to make it. I did some sketching and went ahead to do it. That explains the 5 amendments. ;P

I'm not sure if the draw-string part was attached to the bag. What I did was I sew a separate drawing string pouch. Handle is recycled (again) from some old bag I had. I had this funny habit of removing zippers, handles and those magnet buttons (or whatever you call them) from bags I intend to throw away. I guess they do come in handy. :)

I'm thinking of making a small bag next, for 妹妹 to go with her Chinese New Year outfit. Hopefully, I can make it in time.

It will be a busy year for me. School starts tomorrow for both of them, with 妹妹 in the morning session and 哥哥 in the afternoon. *pant* Hopefully, I will be able to manage my time well. And hopefully, they will be able to cope and adapt to the new school environment fast.
