I used to sew and by that I mean I took Home Ec about a million years ago in high school. Fast forward more than a decade to last Sunday. There was an announcement at church that there was going to be an activity night on Wednesday where they were going to be making bags. These weren't ugly bags, they were actually cute. So I summoned up my former sewing self and bought some fabric and showed up at the activity. The picture in this post is my finished project (sorry about the hideously ugly bedspread, it's kind of distracting, I REALLY want a new one). What do you think? I think I did a pretty good job.And in the whole process I discovered the store Hobby Lobby. Oh my gosh...I'm in love! I'd never been there before, but my friends said their fabric was on sale and I'm all for a good sale. I thought the name of the store was lame and pictured a store full of model airplanes (no offense if you love model airplanes...my grandpa does). But this store was AWESOME! My husband has "forbidden" me from going there without him for fear I'll bankrupt us. But seriously, when I get some money to buy some home decor items I'll be headed there first...such cool stuff!

Great job! Super cute bag.
I LOVE Hobby Lobby. THey have some great fabrics to choose from and many other craft and hobby related items!
Very nice! I absolutely love sewing, it's a great stress reliever for me. And to think that you can take a couple of yards of fabric and some thread and turn it into something so cute and useful is a plus :)
I am not into bags but I find it cool that you made that yourself. It looks really nice. We own a sewing machine (well my wife owns a sewing machine) but I do not know the first thing about sewing.
Great job!
Oh that is a really cute purse. You did a really good job on it. Ha I don't think I've been in Hobby Lobby either, maybe I'll have to make a trip as well lol!
That is so great! You did an awesome job. You should definitely be proud!
You did a great job and kudos for going and rekindling your sewing skills!
I too remember the first time I ever went into Hobby Lobby! I think was in there for like 3 hours! It was insane!
Now if I go, I put my blinders on and go straight to whatever it is that brought me in. I could truly live there!
