Purse Week Contest

Last week I told you that I entered Grace's Sling Bag in the Purse Week contest. I did not make the top ten but it was a good experience just getting the nerve to enter the contest. The 10 making the finals are very nice. You can vote for the top ten here on A Lemon Squeezy Home.

If you love bags, as all girls do, check out the Flickr group  page and pick a favorite that inspires you to make a new one for you or a gift!

Grace's New Purse

When my husband and I took Grace and Luke to the Oregon Coast this summer we stopped at the Center Diamond Fabrics store in Cannon Beach. Grace fell in love with Amy Butler's Birdie Sling Bag so naturally a project was born! Look at the fabrics we picked out!

I signed and dated the lining for her!

Making the pockets!  This fabric is by Anna Marie Horner.
 Grace likes it so well we ordered more from Center Diamond for a skirt.

Moda Bliss is the top and sling handle and the body is Odyssea by Momo for Moda

Here is the final project! She loves this bag. She chose this bag over a backpack.

  A wise choice for a maturing young lady!
