As you may know, I am taking a sewing class at Andover High School this year. I just recently finished our first project in that which was a bag. We didn't have a pattern, our teacher just told us each step. It was pretty fun even though it was sort of easy. It was more relaxing than stressful. I love my bag! Here is what it looks like.
It was loads of fun to make and I use it every day. I like to sew stuff that is useful. As you can see the inside is blue and the outside is purple with a yellow pocket. I also got to use an embroidery machine for my pocket design. I put my initials on the pocket front just for fun. I did something I had never done before with this project, the corners of the bag. It was interesting how we did them. We folded the corners so the seams lined up and the just stitched across them. I was sort of scared to do that because I thought it would ruin the corners, but I guess not. It ended up giving the corners a sturdy edge and look more professional. So in the end I had a bag, a nice bag that I was proud of.

Definitely looks better than the bags the guys in my class mad last year.. we had to take a sowing class for the last quarter of the school year. We mad very plain, simple, not-too-super-amazingly-(I'm running out of adjectives...)-good-looking bags.. so this is probably a few steps up to a smoothly made, useful, great-looking-multicolored-(ours were completely monochromatic except for one guy who had a camo fabric)-initialed bag. :) That was kinda fun, actually.. coming up with all those never-useful-in-grammar-class-adjectives! But anyways, nice bag!
OOO! I never heard of monochromatic before! Are you ready for NaNo? I am so hyped!
lol.. kinda. I keep thinking- oh I'll use this story here for nano! then I ditched hat one.. then that one.. then the one I thought I might actually do.. I start writing. oops! :) we'll see I guess
