Not bad for a first try.

I'm going to try something new.

Renee has inspired me to recycle.

A pair of jeans that son grew out of, two tees that teenager had in Goodwill pile and my black cashmere sweater that has a hole in it.



I cut them into pieces to make a purse.



More pictures when I sew it together.

Day 215 Breakfast & Anime Art Bag

mmmmm coffee

This morning I used the french coffee press (12.99, can be used for coffee or tea) we picked up from Ikea yesterday and made and ham and swiss crepes with breakfast. Mr. C also grabbed an apple slicer...so we served apples on the side so he could use the new gadget. Which was pretty impressive for 2.99.

I picked up this anime fabric yesterday at Ikea. I had read about it on True Up and instantly thought of my niece. I was quite aggravated when I got home because it was cut off the bolt wrong and I ended up with an incomplete panel. (The top of her head was on the bottom of my panel. I should have been paying attention. Especially since it was sold purchasing it by panel size). Regardless I am really happy with the bag. The bag is about 3'wide x 2'deep

EXTERIOR VIEWS:

I ended up making her a bag to carry around her art work, art portfolios, art pads, pencils, etc. I'll give it to her when she gives me the rubber stamp drawing she is working on. (hint/hint) ;)

INTERIOR VIEWS:

If you look at the top right you can see both elastic and fabric slots to hold pencils, pens, chalks or paint brushes.

LOL I love the Godzilla!
