Creating is one of those things that I crave lately. I don’t know if it is because I seem to be at the computer more or what… okay that is so it. I love to pull fabric but I am a girl that sticks to lines together more than scrappy but I think with Heather Ross anything goes. I think all of her fabrics are so her and they all play well together. And I had a lot of scraps that I really wanted to use up because why hoard them? Duh because they are awesome to pet every once in a while but I shouldn’t admit that.

If I want to make a bag there is ONE name that comes to mind always – NOODLEHEAD! Seriously Anna is a genius and all of her patterns just make sense to me. I think she is such a sweet person as well so that defiantly helps and well my bestest sewing buddy, Chen, is her biggest fan! Okay she is totally a #fangirl!

I love that this bag is big enough that I can use it for a lot of purposes! I even made a second one for a friend who is expecting because it would be a great mom bag! I also like that I kinda just used every scrap I had to make the QAYG style front work. I am not by any means a perfectionist so there are some pieces just sewn on the front. Some are patchwork. I just love it.

I find that so often I don’t like using fabrics I love to much because what if I use them in a project I don’t end up liking. I guess I just knew that Heather Ross fabrics and a Noodlehead pattern were just not going to be a bad idea but it doesn’t always end up with such a happy ending. Sometimes I regret it but this time I think the end result was something amazing.

And let me be super honest. I really love when people walk in and see it and can’t believe I could make something like that. I think that is the cool thing about sewing… it kinda blows the socks off of some people. I don’t get to have that affect too much on people so I kinda like my quiet sneak attack of my handmade items. Right? Do you feel that way too sometimes?
