My purse

Well I have finally completed my purse!! I think it looks pretty good. I am a little disappointed by the seam line on the top dark brown fabric from having to sew in the lining. I am debating on if I should take out the seam and hand sew the lining back in so that the seam does not show in the outside. I know that you can not really see it in the picture but I can see it so that is all that matters.

I think I might make another purse and just use the paisley fabric and the darker brown. I like the darker brown and the paisley fabric together better than the lighter brown. Overall I am happy with the bag, I learned from my mistakes and I am excited to make another one. It was a fun project that was challenging but not too challenging and it could be completed in a decent amount of time.

I am trying to figure out what to work on next. I was possibly thinking of going to the store and seeing if the girls wanted me to make their Halloween costumes. So we will see if I will attempt that.

Things I am grateful/thankful for:
-seeing Nathan discover his shadow (I will write about this later)
-sleeping in a cool house
-completing a project and the sense of accomplishment I get from it
