Fabric for New Bag

Obviously I was in a floral mood.  Now I just have to figure out which [...]

Tuesday and Wednesday of this week I got a lot of sewing done.
First I did a couple backpacks.  I had fun with the backpacks–added inner lining fabric and inside pockets as well as the outside pockets.  Both of these are now winging their way toward a couple friends who bought them for their daughters (hmm, [...]
