Mine All Mine..

I need a new purse. 

I am tired of mine. 

I enjoy sewing. 

I have made purses.

I can make my own. 

Someday maybe...
Then one day I found this book One Yard Wonders. (Search this site to see creations made from this book.)
Then I decided I like the Folklore Bag pattern in the book.
Then I decided I needed to make a purse for ME...
Then I cleaned the kitchen, mopped the house, loaded the car and took the boys to Wal-Mart.

**Side Note** Did you know Wal-Mart is closing their fabric department?  (Most new Wal-Mart's don't have this section anymore)  They are closing out all fabric and each yard is 25% off! 

Troy shopped for the necessary items while I meandered to the fabric department.  I fell in love with multiple fabrics but my heart skipped a beat when I saw this:

$4.44 a yard is a killer deal, compared to the larger fabric stores.  Then you throw in 25% off and get it for $3.33 a yard!  WHAT??  I knew it was mine to have.  Troy saw it and said "Why not buy the whole bolt?" So I did- I struck up a deal with the lady in fabric. I proposed to buy the whole bolt all 6.75 yards for $16.50, that's $2.44 a yard.  She agreed!  Its always fun to barter and win.

Sunday was spent relaxing and cutting out fabric.  I have all the fabric cut and ironed.  I am adding more pockets to the pattern than called for and will also add an applique on the front to spice it up a bit.  Stay tuned for the final product!
