It. Is. Finished. (The Hobo Bag, that is).

It was a very challenging item to construct.   Knowing WHAT to do isn't quite the same as actually making it happen.   My sewing machine was rather uncooperative as well.   *sigh*   But I emerged victorious!    I shall go forth to sew several aprons in the next few days!



Dang, I love to sew.


Oh and on a more humorous "it figures" sort of note - my daughter says, of this bag in particular,  "I like it but I don't love it."    Guess I'll list this on etsy afterall  and go back to the drawing board on a surprise for her birthday.   

It's okay.   I have several months.

  5. Thanks for the encouragement.

    LOL- about the ginormous ric-rac. I'm really loving it. I just wish the great color (kind of a variation on Lime Sherbet) was more distinct in the photo.
