Sew-n-tell

So I'm heading back to school this sunday, and i was looking over my list of things that i wanted to accomplish this long 8 week winter break. And well the quilt was out, there was no way i was finishing that, i havnt even finished sewing all the bloks! yikes. I sort of wished it was done tho so i would have a blanket for my bed at school..oh well i will think of something.

Anyways...the other sewing project i wanted to do was to make myself a Phoebe Bag. I saw it during christmas and sew mama sew's hanmade holidays. So yesterday i went and picked up the last few things i needed (some fusable interfacing) and went to town on the bag. When i got to the darts i was confused, I have never done darts before, and it didn't really tell me how exactly to do them. So i looked it up online, and i think it came out great!

I added an outside zipper pocket for wasy access to keys or lip gloss or what ever i need some easy access to.

And then i added a zipper pocket on the insde as well, and a patch pocket. The only problem was when i was pieceing it together, and i didnt notice untill i finished sewing that the zippers are on the same side of the bag, WOOPS! and i didn't want to rip it apart, so i said whatever, it will jsut be a little bulky there.

I really like it! I got the fabric at Mardens, with Lauren  in Maine. and i'm glad i finally used it! And i just love the flab closure!

well i hope you like it! make sure to check out other finshes over at Amy's Blog.

Peace & Love J-me
