Purse tutorial!

Hello Friends!
(My dh raises his eyebrows when I call you friends, but now that I have met many of you in person I know that we are REALLY friends!)


So, I forgot to mention that I have a project up on Moda Bakeshop today.


I made the bag 2 months ago, but couldn't show you because the fabrics won't be released until next month.

I gave this bag to my Sis-in-law for a diaper bag. It is a large bag, but it cinches in on the sides to look smaller. Go visit, and leave me a comment there so I look like I have friends.

In other exciting news. My beautiful Totally Pink Barbie has contracted a serious illness. Not a virus....worse! The hard drive DIED! They are sending me a new one in a few days. Fortunately I've only had her a few weeks, so she didn't have a ton saved in her (now defunct) brain.

Guess I'd better go raid the trick-or-treat buckets while the kids are in school. I love me some Milk Duds!

Girl! Do your talents ever stop. So what is this, like the third time on Moda in the last month or so? You go! Love that bag!

It's official: You have worse computer luck than I do now. I'm sorry your pretty new laptop died...well, the harddrive. That's nice of them to replace it so quickly though :)

My husband also finds it funny when I talk about my friend Lola in Utah. So I understand, and I consider you my friend.

Cute Bag.

Saw the bag on MBS, it is just adorable and would make a great diaper bag. Bummer about Barbie, good thing she was new. Hope the milk duds were good!

My kids do the same with me about my on-lines "friends". They scold me everytime I meet someone from Blogville!
I have hubbie blogging too now and we went to an art show out of town to meet one of HIS "friends" the other day....heehee. I now have him addicted too! The kids told us we are stressing them out and because of this they will need therapy! Whoo Hoo...payback!

Have you considered a Mac? They have better immune systems.

I saw your tutorial yesterday on my visit to the bakeshop. Cute bag! Where can I score the Lola purse pattern? I want it!

Barbies are seldom reliable. Always losing their accessorieis...shoes, purses. But they are so pretty to look at!

How big is each square of the shopper? I see you cut out a 4 1/4 " square at the corners yet I thought each of the six squares was only 5" .. can you explain please? I'm not a quilter but love the bag and would make it of one fabric if I could figure the dimensions.
